Devin Weaver 1ff1390863 Add a syntax specification to MultiTiddlerFiles
Been playing with the railraod plugin and I thought I'd try my hand at
writing some syntax specs for the MultiTiddlerFiles tiddler.

title: MultiTiddlerFiles
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
MultiTiddlerFiles allow multiple tiddlers to be concisely represented in a single text file.
The goals of this format are:
* To be easy to type and easy to read
* Optimised for single line strings
* To allow common fields or tags to be shared within groups of tiddlers
* To be simple to process with external tools
MultiTiddlerFiles have the extension `multids`. The file is structured as a block of shared fields followed by a blank line. The rest of the file is a sequence of comments and tiddlers. Tiddlers are specified by their title, followed by a colon, at least one space character, and then the rest of the line is the text field for the tiddler.
For example:
```
title: $:/language/ControlPanel/
tags: strings
modifier: JoeBloggs
Basics/Caption: Basics
# This is a comment
Basics/Version: ~TiddlyWiki Version
```
This example defines two tiddlers, [[$:/language/ControlPanel/Basics/Caption]] and [[$:/language/ControlPanel/Basics/Version]].
If a `title` field is specified in the header then it is treated as a prefix for the individual tiddlers defined in the title.
