Embedding forums in a TiddlyWiki

There is a thing known as a TiddlyWiki, and there is a website that hosts them, known as Tiddlyspot.

Nabble's embed forum functionality doesn't work with those, for some reason.  I would like to request the additional feature of having this work, if at all possible (even if Nabble has to make their own TiddlyWiki designed for it—it's released under a BSD open source license, and so this shouldn't cause legal issues).  I know, I know, you might not want to do that, but I figured I'd request it at least.  It might be pretty easy to do, though.

I think I know why it doesn't work:
In TiddlyWikis, information is displayed on tiddlers, and thus the resizing of the forum might conflict with the resizing of the tiddlers.  It might have something to do with how TiddlyWiki's are technically a single HTML file, and thus they are loaded all at once.

I tried it and I couldn't find where to write html. It seems that they just load your text as it is even though it is html code. If they allow raw html, then Nabble embedding should work. But if they don't, then there is no way to get around it.

They do allow html.  It took a little while before I found this out, even though it seems something fairly apparent to try.

Basically, in the script you write for tiddlers, you have to surround your code with <html></html> or else it will be interpreted as normal tiddlywiki code.

Do they allow javascript to run on a wiki page?

Good question.

I'll have to give it a try.

This would explain why it's not working.  If it can work, the way I've been doing it doesn't work.

Ah, it looks like I have to add the InlineJavascriptPlugin for it to work.  I'll have to try that out.

Hmm.  I tried it.  JavaScript works now.  The closest thing I got to the embed feature working was by inputting this code, after installing the plug-in:
<html>Nabble Support</html>
<script src="http://www.nabble.com/embed/f1" show></script>

The Nabble support thing is supposed to have the normal code around it, but I'm not sure how to disable links here.  How does one do that, by the way?

After that, it makes as if to reload it, but then it just loads forever (contacting Nabble) or something.  Is this something that would have to be fixed/adjusted on Nabble's end, or in the TiddlyWiki JavaScript plugin?
