Hi Yakov,

Well, in principle this can be done, sure. I'm not sure about adding this

My point entirely: Why not? To me, definitions are exactly the natural way 
to display terms and their corresponding definitions.

I understand that having this by default will end up identifying more 
slices than before, so it could be something similar to Erics Core Tweaks...

The overall idea of GetPlugin really was just to do some playing around 
with a different kind of transclusion, one that doesn't only give you the 
value but also the key, so that you don't have to write...

!A Section
<<tiddler "SomeTiddler##A Section">>

but just...
<<get SomeTiddler:##A Section'>> 

A bit like sunyit's poptiddler macro...
http://sunyit-pos262-webcampaigning2012.tiddlyspace.com/#UsingPopTiddler

which simplifies the slider macro to simply do...
<<poptiddler "Name Of Tiddler" "Text to display">>

Really? Doesn't work for me (TW 2.6.5) and shouldn't: slicesRE doesn't

You are right, I neglected the fact that I need to wrap the parameter 
properly, which I have added to section "Using Slices" here:
http://tiddlywiki.org/#Slices

So, after all, what I suspected is true which is that calcAllSlices is 
quite agnostic to wiki-formatting apart for the bold/italic exceptions for 
the slice-name.

So, besides the fact that definitions and their terms seem to be good 
candidates for stuff that can be computationally retrieved, multi-line 
content being *supported for definitions* is the second main the argument 
for extending slice support to definition lists.

Cheers, Tobias.
