-Tiddler text is parsed into a tree representation. The parsing performed depends on the type of the
-tiddler: wiki text tiddlers are parsed by the wikifier, JSON tiddlers are parsed by JSON.parse(), and so on.
-
-The parse tree representation of the tiddler is then used for general computations involving the tiddler. For
-example, outbound links can be quickly extracted from a parsed tiddler. Parsing doesn't depend on external
-context such as the content of other tiddlers, and so the resulting parse tree can be safely cached.
-
-Rendering a tiddler is the process of producing a representation of the parse tree in the required
-format (typically HTML) - this is done within the context of a TiddlyWiki store object, not at the level of
-individual tiddlers.

 The Tiddler object exposes the following API
 
 new Tiddler(src) - create a Tiddler given a hashmap of field values or a tiddler to clone
 new Tiddler(src1,src2) - create a Tiddler with the union of the fields from the
 						sources, with the rightmost taking priority
 Tiddler.fields - hashmap of tiddler fields, OK for read-only access
-tiddler.getParseTree() - returns the parse tree for the tiddler
 
 The hashmap(s) can specify the  "modified" and "created" fields as strings in YYYYMMDDHHMMSSMMM
 format or as JavaScript date objects. The "tags" field can be given as a JavaScript array of strings or
