The aim is implicitly voiced in the other thread this emerged from ... 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/9Lf0YHfMUZk ... but it 
needs work to get it optimised for TW, IMO.

Looking at Fountain <https://fountain.io/syntax>, that thread deals with 
its markup system for screenplays--I think it could be simplified for TW a 
lot.

The UNDERLYING ISSUE is whether a "deep level" Javascript parser *(and 
likely a new "content type") *is needed OR whether you can get away with a 
more surface level set of regular expressions. The RegEx I can sorta cope 
with. The Javascript I can't. 

The BASIC markup I'm thinking is only this ...
  
:x

Each LINE started by a colon and a letter code is parsed and wrapped in 
different CSS classes. 

Right now I'm trying to establish the tech needs for this. 

PMario opined it wasn't possible without JavaScript coding.

Best wishes
Josiah
