Dave,

Thanks for sharing this! I see you have set up an editor button for det, 
and I wonder if it could be "smarter" in connection with selected text ... 

I'm thinking of a variant on "excise selected text into a new tiddler" that 
could take selected text, port it to a new tiddler (prompting for title, or 
defaulting to first line), and leave a corresponding details macro neatly 
in place of where the excised text is? This would be tremendously helpful 
in editing "overgrown" tiddlers (or paragraph sequences pasted in from 
elsewhere) and bringing a project closer to the ideal of 
tiddlers-as-smallest-useful-bits.

For what it's worth, I'm with Saq in hoping to invoke it with <<det 
"Component Idea">> -- much better for readability, sharing with newbies, 
etc., and would hope for the editor button to work that way as well.

I wish I had time to tinker with these things myself so that I could offer 
tribute in the form of useful work, rather than chiming in as a backseat 
driver!
