Thanks for the suggestion. I'd already started with an empty TW5 using it as a training platform to work out saving and menus. I've pasted in one of my version 2 tiddlers and am digging around to get the formatting right. I seem to have found that I can use back ticks instead of curly brackets to get some of my formatting correct.
