The contents of $:/config/NewJournal/Tags is a space-separated list (a
common syntax in TiddlyWiki, used in many places). This syntax uses
"doubled-square brackets" (another common TiddlyWiki syntax) to enclose
titles that contain spaces. Thus, to enter a tag value that contains a
space, you would enter something like this:
SomeTag [[A Tag With Spaces]] AnotherTag
note: tag values are case sensitive
Here's a PermaLink to some of the relevant documentation on TiddlyWiki.com:
