Hi Tobias

Sorry to say, but when I see this syntax I so miss TWc and plain JavaScript.

JavaScript hasn't gone away in TW5. The TW5 core doesn't support inline
JavaScript within wikitext for security reasons. Bear in mind that when
running under Node.js JS code usually has the same security rights that you
do. It wouldn't be acceptable for me to be able to import a tiddler that
deletes all my files when rendered under the Node.js edition.

JavaScript modules are not particularly complex in TW5 - have a look at the
JS macros in the core, for a simple example.

The docs needs work. More to the point, complex things are complex. The
example you quoted to Matabele above is an attempt to build a fairly
complex little UI gadget and would be non-trivial in either JS or wikitext.
