Wow, thank you so much everyone for all the help. While I understand the philosophy behind TiddlyWiki, with each tiddler being the smallest unit of information, I often write longer essays and it wouldn't feel natural to break them into separate tiddlers, so it's great to see there are workarounds.
@Tony: Thanks for these! The problem with copying and pasting HTML is that I write my essays in Roam Research, and the HTML is a hot mess. I also very often write in Google Docs and it would be annoying to have to publish each essay as an HTML page to then copy the source code and paste it into TiddlyWiki. @FrD: Thank you! If I understand correctly, I'd have to tag each new tiddler with the corresponding data-tag to make sure these custom styles are applied? @David: this is super smart! I wonder if there's a way to hack it so it wraps paragraphs in <p>*</p> instead so the output is more semantically correct? In the mean time that's a great hack.
