I'll give it a try. Paste <$edit-text tiddler="YOURTIDDLER" default="" tag="input"/> into a tiddler. When typing in the input area created by this process, you are editing the text field of the YOURTIDDLER tiddler in an 'input' (small, one line) style input area, with no default text assigned. Open YOURTIDDLER to see the results.
If you want a larger area to type in, you can use <$edit-text tiddler="YOURTIDDLER" tag="textarea" class="tc-edit-texteditor" default=""/> This makes it a textarea type of form field, and applies the CSS class tc-edit-texteditor. Again, no default text assigned. The EditTextWidget tiddler at tiddlywiki.com gives you other parameters you can place in this widget. - field="" gives you the option to edit a field of the tiddler other than the text field, for example, field="title". - placeholder="" lets you put instructions in the text field that will disappear when the user enters their own text there. - The size, autoHeight, minHeight and rows parameters allow you to tweak the look of the input area. And, as the explanation states, you can't use an edittext widget in the tiddler you want to edit.
