Folks, In the same vein as lists, tables we can add toc's. If we wanted to be complete the ability to generate multi-level sort lists could first be introduced to tables but with clever design we can strip away the table "Chrome (headers, rows and lines)" and provide indented lists, or heading

Tables give comfort and readability when you work on bunch of tiddlers. Tiddlywiki core uses itself tables in several cases like Tag Manager https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#%24%3A%2FTagManager Tiddler Manager https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#%24%3A%2FManager I think dynamic tables are
