Ciao Jeremy & all ...

This has been an interesting, useful discussion. A footnote ...

Thanks for that. I read around the issue and then discovered that there are 
proposals in CSS to change the behaviour but they somewhat in conflict with 
existing DOM approach ... 
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ui-4/#content-selection. I haven't tested if 
any browsers adopted the proposal--the point is that the default setting is 
"uncopyable" but the proposal is to permit copying using a "user-select" 
property with several different available settings.

I also discovered a trick to get round the problem which is to PRINT to 
FILE (in Windows) the Tiddler with the "un copyable" content using 
customised settings that eliminate margins. For my specific purpose this 
might work out okay. My interest in the CSS counters is simply for aiding 
conversion of very large documents into a TW import format. CSS counters 
are very flexible and easy to setup and can help you generate indices and 
populate fields you need filling out in a JSON structure so I'll continue 
to experiment to see if its viable for what I need.

Best wishes
Josiah
