Hi Yakov,

I dare ask again: Why not use definitions as slices?

I can imagine that this would be quite desireable.
After all, we have just written down definitions!


## BEGIN EXCURSION ##

Which brings me to the idea that a macro called <<slice>> might actually be 
desireable whereas...

<<slice slice-ref>>

...would rendered both name and value as...

;slice
:slice-value

Oh boy, thinking about this made me create a new plugin...
http://get.tiddlyspace.com

## END EXCURSION ##


Anyhow, if the concern is reduced to layouting... then tables are not the 
issue, because layouting, obviously, has already been taken care of.

So, what it then boils down to really is a formatter that matches the 
"simple" slice-name variant and somehow is smart enough to realize when the 
end of a slice-value has been reached without screwing up any other 
formatting.

...would be kind of ambiguous. Lucky for us, the core slice regex actually 
registers ambiguous slice value correctly, e.g....

foo: bar //italic bar
more italic bar//

*slice-name:*
foo

*slice-value:*
bar //italic bar
more italic bar//


So, it seems like if we could identify that...

   1. what is being wikified right now is a slice-name
   2. if we fetch the slice-value for the tiddler being rendered and the 
   text that follows actually matches the slice-value... then we know that we 
   have to wrap the whole thing in a span with the class .sliceValue and 
   subwikify the rest

Cheers, Tobias.
