What I have in the fields that I want to split are an author and quote. For
example, in I have a field that looks like this:
```
entry (0): author name|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing
elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Viverra ipsum nunc aliquet bibendum enim facilisis gravida.
entry (1): author name|Massa sed elementum tempus egestas. Vitae turpis
massa sed elementum tempus egestas.
```
It's the author and the quote that I am trying to split. The HTML should
look like this:
```
\quote 1
<div class='quote'>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Viverra
ipsum nunc aliquet bibendum enim facilisis gravida.</div>
<div class='author'>author name</div>
\quote 2
<div class='quote'>Massa sed elementum tempus egestas. Vitae turpis massa
sed elementum tempus egestas.</div>
<div class='author'>author name</div>
```
The text I am trying to render:
```
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Viverra ipsum nunc
aliquet bibendum enim facilisis gravida.
~ author name
Massa sed elementum tempus egestas. Vitae turpis massa sed elementum tempus
egestas.
~ author name
\or if no such field exists, I would like to render this:
No quotes available.
```
Some tiddlers will have multiple quotes, so keeping the author and quote in
the same field to keep things neat would be prefered.
Thanks.
