**Is it possible to avoid the `TiddlyWikiModule` prefix when using `include("tiddlywiki.jl")` in Pluto notebooks?**

Currently, I have to call functions using `TiddlyWikiModule.something()`. I would like to know if I can make them available directly as `something()` after including `tiddlywiki.jl`. What would be the recommended way to do this in Julia?

You add the names you want in your namespace after a colon.

Untested:

```julia-auto
include("tiddlywiki.jl")
using .TiddlyWikiModule: something, somethingelse
something()

```

If the functions are exported from the module, then you wouldn’t need to list them.
