Hi Jed, the use case from which this emerged was cut and pasting a comma separated list from a PDF then wanting to create tiddlers for each in the list. Part of a process of convering a PDF into an extensible document and orgnaisational model.
I cut and paste the text into one side of the edit template, then use the right hand side to crreate tiddlers. I thought of an input resempling something like this <<.macroName "music, food, art, gardening, performance" >> It could be used to turn a sentence from a static text into an interface for creating a model. The marco could create tag pills, there could be a new here button at the top. The process would be taking annotation of a text one step further: the annotation adds the capacity to build on lists within the existing text.
