caption: Usage

The tool can slice any tiddler that can be rendered as HTML, including both WikiText and HTML itself.

Documents created with Microsoft Word will need to be first converted to HTML. The library [[mammoth.js|https://github.com/mwilliamson/mammoth.js]] is recommended for this purpose.

!! Browser

In the browser, you can slice a monolithic document tiddler using the slicer toolbar button.

!! Node.js

The `--slice` command allows a tiddler to be sliced under Node.js:

```
tiddlywiki mywiki --slice SourceDocument --build index
```
