Hi David
The tiddler dictionary format is essentially a shortcut way of writing a
JSON tiddler. For example, take this dictionary tiddler:
one: value first
two: value second
It behaves the same as this JSON tiddler:
{
"one": "value first",
"two": "value second"
}
The wrapping in HTML paragraph tags occurs when you transclude a tiddler in
"block mode" versus "inline mode". Block mode parses block structures like
headings, lists and tables while inline mode only parses the inline
elements that would be legal within something like a heading.
At the moment, the easiest way to control which type of transclusion you're
getting is to place a newline after the opening tag to trigger block mode.
Thus this example transcludes by block:
<$transclude target="HelloThere">
<$view field="title"/>
</$transclude>
Removing the newlines makes it transclude by inline run:
<$transclude target="HelloThere"><$view field="title"/></$transclude>
Best wishes
Jeremy.
