By using the conventions of standard HTML is creates documents that can be transferred well to other contexts. FYI, all I do is capture rendered HTML code. A button press to get it on clipboard and post to a context. The CSS is modularised so that I can inline it for the specific document if needed.

That is what you asked for. But potential insertion of any HTML tag is what I'd hope for. NO. Hopefully no need for zillions of special WikiText characters! IF PMario finds TonyM's suggestion usable you'd only need one that could insert any tag (but there is an issue on closing tags that would need thinking through). Remember this is speculative, not yet fully doable. See my comment to TonyM here that illustrates the general idea https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/GHbwtMIrA3I/eJyRkqyKAQAJ Why does it not make more sense to, as I noted, just use the existing TW > markdown and concatenate classes to achieve the styles of "main, article, > header, etc"? *Possibly *introduce indicators for, div and span, but > nothing else. Beyond that... why? > Mat, its a perfectly valid way of thinking to use CSS for everything. But I happen to like to use appropriate HTML to handle content division. That is what HTML is for too! It makes great sense for structured writing. I want to edit in TW in a way that I don't need to get swamped in HTML code! Simple, usual reason. Hope that is clearer!
