What does "tc-" stand for?

It is used throughout the main stylesheet. Tiddly Core?

There are several prefixes using by identifiers in the TWCore:

tc- = TiddlyWiki Class (for CSS classes)
tm- = TiddlyWiki Message
tv- = TiddlyWiki Variable

Early versions of TW5 used a general tw- prefix, but this was changed over 7 years ago (release 5.0.16-beta, 21st February 2015) to provide greater clarity of purpose for the individual identifiers.

In addition, in keeping with this naming convention, CSS classes defined by my TiddlyTools stuff uses a prefix of tt-. This allows me to avoid any overlap with existing or future TWCore CSS definitions as well as emphasizing that these classes are related to my TiddlyTools customizations.

It is useful to see this made plain!

It can help a lot of people who want to better understand the TW. :slight_smile:
