Regarding a use case using "shorthand"

Its a good question to ask. It forces me to be explicit about it. Yeah, it
seems very bizarre at first. But its addressing a very specific use case.
For over a decade I have made manual SHORTHAND for lesson instructions for
bodywork. An example hand-written (on paper) shorthand for the start of a
lesson ...
Pb Ob Pbk Crl o ll at k // A1 Abk 1 L 2 R
These are instructions in a class I give voice to like this ...
Lay down on your back. Observe how you lay on the ground <a lot more like
this ... then ...> bend your knees. Cross your right leg over your left ...
etc
A whole lesson is written on ONE A6 card.
Transcribed a lesson would be 4-6 pages of A4.
I now want to put online some of these lessons (demand from students).
Since *hundreds of phrases are repeated i*n different lessons I want to
avoid having to write those for each lesson. That is the background. Hope
that makes clearer the issue!
I have done some experiments already in TW using transclusion (each
sub-phrase a tiddler). It works, but (1) the styling (I need to hide/show
parts of lessons) gets very complicated to manage; (2) its a barely
readable forest of *{{...}}.*
NOW I'm experimenting with your Custom Markup and the results so far look
very good. In fact it looks like I might be able to use a slightly modified
version my existing shorthand system (mixed with typed text). So, for
example ...
°Pb.-pos °Ob °.pbk IC.rl °.o °.ll It is important at °.at °K // °.a-1
°a-bk Rest, then °.L2r
YES, its an experiment. But a well advanced one that looks very hopeful.
Once setup it seems very effective!
I think its an interesting use case of efficient utilization of CSS.
I may actually use it! :-)
Best wishes
