TiddlyWiki Classic treated all newlines as literal characters and converted 
them to <br> for rendering.  While this produced a more WYSIWYG-like 
handling (e.g. one carriage return in the tiddler source equals one newline 
in the rendered output), it did not permit proper use of CSS for paragraph 
styling, since there weren't any <p> elements being generated.

The correct handling is to recognize double carriage returns as paragraph 
breaks and wrap the entire preceding block of text within <p>...</p>.  The 
handling of newlines *within* that block of text then follows the usual 
HTML standard that carriage returns are simply white-space word separators, 
not literal newlines.  This is also a common convention for handling 
carriage returns in other "simplified" formatting languages, such as 
Markdown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown).

While this handling is different from TWClassic, it is *much* more 
consistent with other commonly-used format languages, and thus makes it 
much easier to move data between TiddlyWiki5 and other applications.

By default, TiddlyWiki5 only has two "columns": The StoryRiver on the left 
(to show your tiddlers), and The Sidebar on the right (to manage your 
document).

It *is* possible to add a "side menu" on the left, but it's not a built-in 
option like the "MainMenu" from TWClassic.  In addition to defining the 
MainMenu content tiddler itself, you need to tag it with 
"$:/tags/PageTemplate" so it will appear in your page.  You will then need 
to fiddle about with the CSS definitions, so that the new "side menu" 
appears in the desired location, and the StoryRiver margins 
(.tc-story-river) are adjusted to leave space on the left (so it doesn't 
overlap the side menu).

Several people in this group have put together customized TiddlyWiki 
documents that include alternative side/top menus.  I suggest you take a 
look at those variations.  You might find what you want has already been 
done, or at least, they should give you some clues as to how to customize 
your own document.
