Hi all, I would like to put my thoughts here. Apology if all of this doesn't fit here. I believe that Latex does not represent the non-linear structure of knowledge as tiddlywiki does. However, I'm basically trying to get a document with best features of formatting as close to latex as possible. I am also interested in knowing people's thoughts about auto-numbering of sections (sub-sections), equations, figures, tables and lists. All of these has to be consistent especially when you transclude otherwise we're losing the most powerful feature of tiddlywiki.
