What most people don't know about the TiddlyWiki NodeJS version is that it
can actually run a file server and rest API to serve and save
TiddlyWikis. I've used it quite a bit and it works very well.

The biggest advantage for you in using it is that one wiki can inherit
another. The biggest disadvantage is that each one has to run on its own
port number if you want to access more than one at the same time. Of
course, you could just make a tiddler in your base wiki with links to all
of them, so that would probably take care of that.

It is relatively easy, if you are familiar with NodeJS, to hack together a
more versatile server which can serve multiple wikis. There are a lot of
optimizations that could be done along those lines, but it will work fine
for what you want.

If you go with TiddlyWiki in the Sky on Dropbox that will work well unless
you have a slow upload speed on Dropbox. What I have done is make a loading
script for Electron.io that allows me to run a TiddlyWiki in a lean,
chromium-based window. I also store the electron files on Dropbox, and have
found it much easier to work with than NodeWebkit. But I'm a custom script
type. :)

If you use TiddlyDesktop, you will have an active support community (this
one) and the interface itself is defined in a TiddlyWiki :)

As far as format, there are only two right now,
NodeJS/TiddlyWeb/TiddlySpace tiddler "syncing" and
Browser/TiddlyDesktop/TiddlySpot/Dropbox file "saving". What you are
familiar with is the second one. The first one is the way the NodeJS server
works.

Anytime you want to switch between the two formats it is usually very
simple, just drag and drop. Well, file to server. The other direction
involves either copying the code from View Source in your browser into a
new HTML file or making a download button inside the TiddlyWiki and
clicking it. Anyone here can tell you how to do that.

Hope that helps. Feel free to ask if something isn't clear.

Markdown is a core plugin. see: https://github.com/Jermolene/
