In addition to early testing of the code, Alpha's are, in practical terms, a "field review" of the specific functionality and design for new features. This is especially true for TiddlyWiki, which has no formal design proposal and review process. In this particular instance, one design concern I have is the use of "template" to refer to a tiddler that contains *wiki-formatted* content. However, the well-established TiddlyWiki template system (i.e., PageTemplate, ViewTemplate, EditTemplate) uses HTML-formatted content... and, with the use of TiddlyTools' TaggedTemplateTweak, this method is already widely-used to display alternative renderings of tiddler content. Of course, rendering tiddlers from wiki content 'templates' allows for simplified formatting, which is all that is needed for *some* use cases. What I would like is for TWO new parameters, "template:TiddlerName", would apply the TWCore standard template processing to render output from HTML, while "format:TiddlerName", could apply wikify() processing to render output from wiki syntax. This would provide a more complete solution, enabling use of the TWCore's HTML template syntax as an alternative when wiki-syntax formatting falls short, or when you just want to re-use existing custom templates that already format the tiddler output as desired.
