Hi Tony > Really? You don’t see any material improvements between TWC and TW5?
Sorry if my comment was in turn a little harsh; my perspective is a little different... I love TWC, and I love that the design of the core is just the minimal dom mangling necessary to provide the desired user experience for navigation. That's pretty much all there is, and any non-trivial extensions/customisations generally require using plugins. But it's a wildly successful design, particularly because it's been easy for other developers to understand. The wonder of TWC is its longevity and utility. TW5, in contrast, is an attempt to create a general purpose "rendering engine" that spans narrative prose and user interface declarations, allowing the entire user interface to be customised as easily as writing wikitext. The evidence for its success is in the number of requests here on the group that we can answer without recourse to plugins. There's no doubt that the TW5 core is a richer set of primitives than TWC. The wonder of TW5 is that it is a practical solution, as well as an internally satisfying one. No doubt there are an infinite number of ways to implement something like TiddlyWiki, but TWC and TW5 seem to me to embody two particularly interesting "local maxima": interconnected of trade-offs between competing design approaches.
