Hi Mat

TW5 doesn't use <article> for tiddlers at the moment, it just uses a <div>
(it does use the related <section> element for the sidebar and the story
river).

There's not much advantage that I'm aware of; the spec doesn't define any
special behaviour for the <article> element, it's purpose is to identify
structure for semantic purposes (so it might be used by a web crawler for
instance).

Changing over to an article element has the potential disadvantage that it
would break backwards compatibility with CSS selectors used to target the
tiddler frame.

non-tiddlywiki sites to contain tiddlers they find?

So, yes, that's about right.

instead of, as I believe it is now, whole TWs.

It doesn't help embedding TW content, sadly.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
