As I've begun using TiddlyWiki5 for day-to-day operations, it strikes me 
there are three quirks of its wikitext that may be worth revisiting:

   1. 
*There's no wikitext for an image wrapped in a link. *Jeremy addressed this in 
   an earlier thread 
   <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/DktUwUnG7iE/P3K4admtEAAJ>, 
   but it does seem like a glaring omission in TW's wikitext.
   My personal preference is for [img[path/to/image.jpg]link[TiddlerTitle]] 
   / [img[{{ImageTiddler}}]ext[URL]] .
   In the absence of such a solution, I've been eschewing wikitext for 
   images *and* links and filling my tiddlers with HTML — which sort of 
   defeats the purpose of wikitext, to my way of thinking.
   
   2. *There's no wikitext for highlighting (adding a background-color to 
   text).*
   TiddlyWiki Classic used @@a couple of 'at' symbols@@ to accomplish this.
   In its absence, I've been using <span>s — which is fine, but once again, 
   typing out all that HTML feels like I'm not taking advantage of wikitext.
   
   3. *Using three hyphens (---) to denote an <HR> means you can't put an 
   m-dash on its own line.*
   Which may not be a problem for anyone else, but I tend to put an m-dash 
   on its own line a fair bit and find myself resorting to keyboard shortcuts 
   when it seems like wikitext should do.
   If it took *FOUR* hyphens to indicate an <HR>, three would be reserved 
   for an m-dash, and we wouldn't have this conflict.
