Mat, Have you used the Semi-colon and Colon markup?
In edit you can add all the extra blank lines you want to help with reading, but when rendered they are removed, however what is rendered uses a display format that is very clear? I know this is not an exact answer to your question but I do suggest exploring what is posible and adopting new methods rather than create new solutions. Try this in a Tiddler as an example. !!!Headings of course ``` Optional headline ``` ;Heading :Item ;Heading 2 :Item2 ::Next level :Back level :::3 levels Check out this reference work of Tobias beers's http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Markup%20Reference You could also delineate large sections using the block quote > block >> quotes >>> are </dd>easy I have started using HTML to great effect, if you know it, or have a reason to learn Also the semi-colon and Colon respond to css class names ;.heading Heading text :.item Item text Where .heading .item are classes in a stylesheet or @@.item Item details inline@@ more text I use .q for questions and .a for answers ;.q Question :.a answer Regards Tony On Thursday, March 8, 2018 at 6:16:51 AM UTC+11, Mat wrote: > > I would like to be able to take notes by making lists like this: > > Optional headline > -an item > --a subitem > -another item > > -yet another item, separated from the previous in both edit- and view modes > > > What you see looks the same in both edit- and view-mode.
