Hello Mat,

I really like your enthusiast but, are you conscious of how many things 
have you proposed? Some times looks like you are victim of a good marketing 
department of certain libraries.

the thing you are currently proposing sounds particularly impossible. From 
your description you want to paste some text into a tiddler and it should 
be auto-magically turned into what you expect. How do you think any program 
or person could do that? Let's make a mental experiment: If you give a 
person a text, that you have copied from somewhere and ask that person to 
format it properly, do you think that person will know how to do it? How 
would he/she know that you want tabs to be a table? what if for some 
content you prefer a list? Can you see what I mean? You should tell that 
person/program how to interpret each piece of text. Parsing and 
interpreting text is tied to a specific set of rules, and you have to tell 
to the program that applies that rules which rules it should use. This is 
how the parser mechanims of tiddlywiki works, and I think it works very 
well, but you have to specify the type of text (tidddlytext,json,image) in 
order to use the appropriate parser.

In the other hand, instead of asking for a new cool thing, have you though 
if this is possible already in some way? Do you know my keyboard-snippets 
plugin? If you paste a tab separated text into a tiddler, selects that text 
and hit alt+t and you will have a nice table. The same for alt+k and code 
snippets. And since it is configurable, you can create any kind of rule to 
make any think you want. Give it a try, it is cool:

Please don't understand this the bad way, I really love your ideas, and you 
give a lot to the community. It's just this does not sounds doable.
