Programmatically Creating Styled Cells In Jupyter Notebooks

I've been playing around with the idea of using Jupyter notebooks as a narrative game interface for a while, and finally got around to doing some prototyping this week.

tiddlywiki {server name} --init server

Description=TiddlyWiki Server
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
