Is there any reason for some attribute description like below
{any attributes not starting with $} 

See:
Tiddlywiki.com for Vars widget and some other cases


Why it is in a {}? Isn't it confusing? Why not to just write as below:
any attributes not starting with $ 

Best wishes
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad

We use those brackets because the first column is supposed to be a listing of attribute names but the entry here is not an actual attribute name, but a phrase specifying a set of names. We use the curly braces to indicate that the item is a description of an item, rather than the item itself.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
 Thank you for clarification. I thought it is a doc issue ;-)

Cheers
Mohammad
