Thanks Julian, much appreciated. The long journey of taking TiddlyWiki from an experiment to a welcoming and useful ecosystem has been thanks to the contributions of many other people such as Eric, Saq, Simon and Daniel, Chris Dent, Udo Borkowski and lots more.
The html/wikitext dichotomy is interesting on many levels, and I hope TiddlyWiki5 will serve as a good tool for both situations, and allow experiments towards blends of both approaches.
