ParserMonster was originally documented with TiddlyWiki and I loved the idea. At first, I also loved the monolithic format of TiddlyWiki's all-in-one HTML / JavaScript file.

The current version has the ability to read subfolders to find all files. Should the apps be allowed to pull from subfolders?

Pulling from subfolders would defeat that purpose.) text/html 2016-02-12T03:46:03+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://morphodesigns.com/doku/directivecert?rev=1455248763&do=diff <cert> ... </cert> This pair of directives encloses a version number within a script or task file.
