Jeremy et all, I understand the use of nested delimiters. I expect the full answer I was looking for relates to how the content is transcluded into the theme as Tiddler styles {{$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/sticky}}
Basically behind the reveal is conditional styling and a list widget. Somehow the backticks are allowing literal text to be included in the theme then interpreted as css or wiki text. There is a code pattern here, that seems quite powerful, and I still don't fully understand it.
