It was surprisingly easy to get the basic transliteration up and running, and of course very satisfying to thrash it into some sort of respectable shape. I'm very excited about the way that it makes lots of things easy and elegant that were frightful and tacky in the old code. >> The reason why this is a big deal is that it brings all the TiddlyWiki >> developments together.

The new wikifier is currently synchronous, but I'm planning to convert it to synchronous operation, which I think might simplify things on your side a bit. One of my next steps is to rewrite the wikifier as a peg.js grammar, developing a revised TiddlyWiki wiki format that is largely backwards compatible but handles paragraphs sensible, and brings in the best of markdown (I'm very used to writing `code like this` now, for instance).
