Hello coreDevs,

I wonder why tiddler sections are pieces of tw-code from one !! to
another !!!!. As an alternative, I'd imagine the tree structure of
sections meaning that in following tw-code

!Section
...1
!!Subsection
...2
!!Another subsection
...3

there's a section Section which contains

...1
!!Subsection
...2
!!Another Subsection
...3

and also sections Subsection and Another Subsection which contain

...2

and

...3

respectively. So, my first question is whether such a design is
somewhat deliberate or just the "as is" state which can be improved?


Also, I'd like to propose to add some syntax which ends a section and
is not treated as a beginnig of a new section, like

!!!<end>

For instance, if elephants are described in a tiddler (somewhat like
an article is written) and there's a subsection

!!African elephants

which is followed by some notes and then by the subsection

!!Asian elephants

it would be convenient to write

!!African elephants
[smth about african elephants]
!!<end>

[some notes]

!!Asian elephants
[smth about asian elephants]

These two issues has the same aim: to make of sections a really useful
tool to extract semantically separated parts of content. As for now,
it's more convenient to use sections only for constructions like

<<slider .. [[thisTiddler##hiddenSection]] ....>/%
!hiddenSection
...
!end
%/

and in the case of elephants -- to use <<tiddler>> macros for each
subsection (thanks to Eric there's also QuickEditPackage which
contains the "split" button).
