One builds things in TW5 using wikitext, a markup language similar to
MarkDown. The entire user interface is actually built entirely out of
wikitext (admittedly, in some cases it's quite hairy wikitext). This means
that it's possible for non-developers to achieve the kind of modifications
and extensions that would ordinarily be the exclusive domain of experienced
web developers.
The trick with TW5 is that the cost of failure is very low; to experiment
with an unfamiliar area one can just backup ones wiki and then sail in to
modifying templates and tweaks, confident that it will always be possible
to step back to an earlier revision.
Anyhow, wikitext is documented on five.tiddlywiki.com, but the
documentation is currently incomplete with respect to the more advanced
wikitext features used to build the user interface.
Best wishes
