Thanks Tony.

I'm still confused as to why that particular example above was used. I only 
see a Widget and no WikiText. I feel like my understanding is not complete, 
and that makes it difficult for me to write confidently.

This is the text used in that documentation tiddler:


Furthermore the WikiText is used to access the widgets which are integrated

WikiText:
<$button message="tm-close-tiddler">Close Me!</$button> 


If instead this example had been used, it would make more sense to me:

<$button message="tm-close-tiddler">I'm {{!!title}}<br> Click to Close Me! 
</$button>

I am beginning to understand how painstakingly careful one needs to be to 
write accurate official documentation for software, even if its only for 
the novice level. 

I think I am finding it takes so much time because there is so much about 
the software's complex  internals that are difficult to easily understand. 
Thus, though it seems the topic is simple,  it's not so easy to present it 
to a beginner while ensuring no language is used that infers "this is all 
there is to it" - while also not burdening the reader with the more complex 
concepts.

Still, we are slowly getting there!
