Cade, I have a solution I am proud of that uses all the mechaisiums you are asking for. It is attached. Let me know if you need more instructions.
I am yet to polish it for publication but it is a tool to have local view templates specific to a tiddler, it works by only allowing you to edit the local-viewtemplate field in a multiline editor in edit mode. It gets hidden from the field in edit mode otherwise the you loose the line breaks. - Drop the package local-viewtemplate on a wiki. It does nothing without further action. - Edit a tiddler and add a field "local-viewtemplate" with or without a value, click add - Now the multiline editor of the local-viewtemplate field appears in edit mode. - In this case there is a local view template that will display the fields contents in view mode. Not only does it demonstrate multiline fields it provides a quick and easy test bed for writing view Template tests that will not appear everywhere. There is a possibility tiddler may not be saved correctly on node implementations. But I checked right now on Bobexe and it survived a save and reload.
