Hi all,

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the templating language used 
in Tiddlers, so I'm looking for a good overview of the language syntax and 
concepts.

Essentially something like the Introduction to Filter Notation 
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#Introduction%20to%20filter%20notation> Tiddler, 
but for the whole language... something like a Summary of Notations Types 
Used.

For example is there a page that summarizes what angle brackets, curly 
braces, etc, mean? Is there a name for this templating language? Is it a 
separate repo with it's own docs, or is it custom to TiddlyWiki?

Specifically, some of the things I'm wondering are:

why are there 2 curly braces surrounding this:
{{MyTiddler}}

3 curly braces surrounding this:
{{{ 2018-10-04 || DailyTiddler }}}

two angle braces surrounding this:
<<list-links filter:"[tags[]prefix[20]]">>

and only one angle brace in front of $X here:
<$set name=dateToday value=<<currentTiddler>>>
    <$list filter="[tag<dateToday>]">
        <h2><$link><$transclude field="title" mode="block"/></$link></h2>
        <$transclude mode="block"/>
    </$list>
<$set>

I've been reading the docs, but many of the tiddlers I found are a little 
too granular to answer the broader questions above without reading a lot of 
individual tiddlers.

I know this is a pretty broad question. I'm hoping there's a quick start / 
summary you can point me to.

Thanks!
