The getShadowTiddlerText method of the Tiddlywiki Class allows you to retrieve the contents of a shadow tiddler. The returned string is not wikified so will be in it's raw wikitext format.
It takes one parameter, the tiddler of one of the shadow tiddlers. Such as:
store.getShadowTiddlerText("SiteSubtitle");
which returns:
"a reusable non-linear personal web notebook"
If you provide a name which doesn't exist or doesn't belong to a shadow tiddler this method will return an empty string. E.g.
""
