Hi Springer!

I saw you added something to $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body to display any 
notes that an except may have. You can also get the same result by 
copy-pasting the bit of code to a new tiddler tagged  $:/tags/ViewTemplate. 
If you add the field list-after with  $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body as its 
content, it will display it at the end of your tiddlers. This way you don't 
have to modify shadow tiddlers, which makes upgrading TiddlyWiki versions 
easier as you don't have to manually adjust any changes to your changed 
shadow tiddlers.
