Mario, I hear all you are saying. On Further consideration.
- The main need I have for tabs in wiki-text tiddlers is for structuring information in edit mode so that it is more reasonable to read. I could live with its invisible non line break if in some modes I could see them, and even if not rendered in the View Template. - The secondary need I have, which many authors and content provides has is for indent in this case ":" works for this in tiddlywiki (although on my keyboard it is a shift-: and you have to place ":::" at the beginning of a line not while you are typing. - The final need is to organise text in simple columns, this is when it is displayed as well, and its helpful that tab"text" moves it to the next tab position. A work around for this last items would be |*|Item|detail| |*|Item 2|detail| if I could easily make the table boarders disappear.
