!! Text Slicing Approach

Individual tiddlers are created for each heading, paragraph and list item. They are linked together using TiddlyWiki's tagging mechanism.

For example, consider a tiddler titled ''Example'' containing this simple text:

<<<
! This is a heading

This is a paragraph.

* And the first list item
* Second list item
<<<

It will be sliced up into:

* a tiddler for the overall document
** a tiddler for the heading
*** a tiddler for the paragraph
*** a tiddler for the list
**** and a tiddler for each list item

These tiddlers are bound together using tagging: child tiddlers are tagged with the title of their parent, and the parent tiddler has a ''list'' field that lists each child in the correct order.
