Jermolene 2261fd4b84 Merge the dev material back into the main tw5.com wiki
It was getting a pain to manage the content in separate places, and I
suspect confusing for end users.

I think the best time to move the dev content out is when we’ve
established the community wiki for TW5, which is a much more natural
home for it.

In the meantime, a feature that I’m interested in exploring is the
ability to hide tiddlers from the UI based on tag. Then the tw5.com
wiki could disable all tiddlers tagged ‘dev’ until explicitly
overridden by the user.

The heart of TiddlyWiki can be seen as an extensible representation transformation engine for text and images. Given the text of a tiddler and its associated ContentType, the engine can produce a rendering of the tiddler in a new ContentType. Furthermore, it can efficiently selectively update the rendering to track any changes in the tiddler or its dependents.
The primary use of the engine is to convert raw `text/vnd.tiddlywiki` WikiText into a `text/html` or `text/plain` representation for display. The transclusion and templating features of WikiText allow the engine to also be used to generate TiddlyWiki HTML files from raw tiddlers.
If you're interested in understanding more about the internal operation of TiddlyWiki, it is recommended that you review the DeveloperDocs and read the code -- start with the boot kernel [[$:/boot/boot.js]].
