In TiddlyWiki there has been a tendency to write paragraphs as short
tiddlers and transclude them into longer 'article' tiddlers. That is not
really my thing, and I share your frustration. I prefer to write in
Dynalist, and use TiddlyWiki for publishing or for playing with data to
build mini databases such as this unfinished project of mine:
