@Stuart, Please don't be afraid by the "techy" conversation here. You scratched in important issue, where we don't have a generic solution yet!!

Be aware that it shows most existing fields at tiddlywiki.com the empty.html file has much less. There is the description field. It is already used in the plugin context and it's meant to be a whole paragraph, if needed. Having a look to the TW source, imo the best field is "*subtitle*". It's used exactly in the way we would need it here. eg: $:/language/Modals/Download is a tiddler name and the "subtitle: Download changes". The usecase here is: "Giving users the info they need, without confusing them." So for me that's exactly what the OP wants. And the field name imo makes sense too: *subtitle* .... What do you think? have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
