(learning how to code TiddlyWiki stuff is... kind of a pain. You know how in Perl there's a lot of weirdness because it's a very old language with 100% backward compatibility, so all the old awkward weird ways of doing things are still supported, used in some parts of existing code, and present in tutorial material you find about it on the net? It's JUST LIKE THAT)

Tiddlywikis are mostly coded in Tiddlywiki itself... which is effectively a functional language which exists as special widgets which look like HTML tags.... with a layer of somewhat more accessible WikiText and/or macros over top of some of that.

@mph dang! You should be able to upgrade it in place though I think?
