I have become somewhat of a master with the html details tag in tiddlywiki,
so do ask if you are interested some quick tips;
- you can place wiki text inside the summary tags to provide more
information of the contents, eg it may contain a list but you could
indicate the number of items with count of items {{{ filter..count[]] }}}

Understood, a healthy way, and my view as well. Thank you.

I think deeply living a tool is a great way to learn about it and its
possibilities. They say after the novelty of the new it is wise to exchange
nuance for the novelty to understand more deeply. The result is expertise.
It also makes it easier to ask others for help because it becomes easier to
ask pertinent questions.

In my view there are readers, writers (authors) and designers. Each may
have there most desirable settings. We are often one of more of these at a
time. I try to understand the different requirements and when it has value
permit different uses. In the long run I hope to be cognisant of this with
everything I build. I raise it hoping people will provide feedback. So
often when we design something we may have the best insight to the
possibilities and way to alter the solution to accommodate different uses.
Regards
Tones
