Hi Alex The cleanest, most desirable way to do what you want would require us to be able to convert HTML into wikitext; as Yakov says, that's a very hard problem in general.
The trouble is that HTML allows lots of constructions that can't be converted to simple wikitext. For example, HTML enables tables to be nested, and yet the TW syntax does not. Having said that, one could imagine a much simpler converter, one that only understood headings, links and character formatting. Such a thing may be adequate in the use case you describe. (The other option would be to import the HTML text into TiddlyWiki and use the HTML editor plugin to edit it, but I don't think that's what you're after here). Best wishes Jeremy.
