I think you will find TW can be customized as far as you can imagine depending or your javascript & css abilities.
This is 'in my opinion' the best online user group I have found for any software (paid or free) Like Alex pointed out if we can get an idea of what your assignment is, and what you wish to accomplish, I am sure it can all be sorted out pretty easily. you can also check out www.tiddlywiki.org for some ideas. . . Some of the things you mentioned (orphans ect.) can be removed if desired, look around in the right sidebar (index) more > shadowed, these default tiddlers can be edited to make the desired changes.
