In terms of the code, what I have done so far is to change my strategy. At 
first I wanted <<tiddler...>> to work inside a template. With some advice 
from Eric, I changed it to a macro="tiddler..." format.

What I have found so far is that apparently for evaluated expressions {{}} 
to work inside of  "macro=" ,  it needs to use single quotes. And it only 
works inside of "macro=" and nowhere else in the template tiddler.

Also, "tiddler.title" doesn't work inside the template tiddler. Thus the 
long expression 

  {{story.findContainingTiddler(place).getAttribute("tiddler")+"##SECTION }}

is still required. What I would have liked was to use the name right inside 
the ViewTemplate, but as far as I can tell what I had to do instead was 
transclude a separate tiddler, passing it the evaluated name to work with. 

My overall goal is to create a TiddlyWiki that will allow me to view 
receipts stored as PDF's. Ideally I would be able to view the PDF and its 
related text side-by-side in a tiddler. I could copy OCR'd text from the 
PDF to the corresponding tiddler, and tweak it a bit as needed. This is 
mostly working, except that currently I can't float the embedded PDF and 
the text side-by-side. They have to be one above the other. I need to work 
out details for sub-directories, and for dragging and dropping the PDF's.

This same system would allow me to create photo albums. The TW would work 
as an overlay, providing the ability to search and display images. It would 
not, of course, actually store the contents of the images. 

Thanks,
Mark
