Thanks all for your comments. Tony Im looking forward to your work!
Mark, thanks for pointing me to Thomas' extract. Ill take a look. Also, I need to take a look at "slicing" in TW classic. Coda thats an interesting idea of actually using a data tiddler to define fields and their respective sizes for edit fields. Personally, I think the most transparent mechanism would just be another text area, perhaps the same size as the text edit area for a normal tiddler, where everything you type in there (as per the format above) will be parsed/interpreted as fields. Its really just like when you look at a naked .tid file. Everything is so transparent, tangible and easy to understand.
