... and what's the problem? 

IMO It should _not_ be a system tiddler. If I want it to be a system 
tiddler, I name it: $:/plain or better $:/text/plain and it will be 
invisible in the sidebar. 

If I don't want it to use "$:/text/plain" I can use "/plain", which I 
personally think is wrong anyway. ... There is no mime-type /plain it's 
text/plain for a reason, because /plain is not specific enough.

Thanks for your reply Mario

The proposal is not really about my personal need though. I really suggest 
if for core. Here is some background:

Jeremy is asking for 
 
a "concise wikitext syntax for plain text wikification", as universal as 
possible. His mention arose from my complaint about having to type out this 
just to get a common title link:

<$link to={{!!title}}><$view field="title"/>

That statement is much to (1)complex (2)complicated (3)even risky 
 for (4)recurring so 
frequently! There should (obviously!) be a better alternative *in the 
core! *

But, as noted, Jeremy requests "universality". So I realized that the  
{{*||*}} syntax, which is both familiar and concise, is suitable for 
definition of links but also for much more. And rather than introducing new 
syntax, it is merely a matter of changing the perception of it:  {{*||*}} "is 
about shaping transclusion output". I don't think it matters if it is 
purely syntactic or just a convention.

Implementing it in ones own TW would mean you have tiddlers named "/plain" 
but that should really be system tiddlers.

That said, your suggestions are interesting and I'm going to test some 
things. Thanks.
