The transclusion handling in the markdown renderer will render anything condidered renderable
so transcluding some other format which can be rendered will work.
What won't work is something that ought to just display (like, perhaps, an HTML tiddler).
in a conversation about @TiddlySpace, @BoyCook asked about creating a table within a Markdown tiddler.
Since Markdown doesn't have native table syntax, I suggested he consider transcluding a dedicated tiddler of a different content type - either TiddlyWiki markup or HTML.
Unfortunately, AFAIK the rendering system doesn't actually work like that: Whatever is being transcluded uses the same renderer as the surrounding tiddler (because transclusion is performed by that renderer). [to be confirmed - @cdent?]
Fortunately though, Markdown allows inline HTML, so transcluding an HTML tiddler should work just fine.
Thus if we had an editor for HTML (e.g. WYSIHTML5), we could provide users with an easy way to add such "complex" contents without breaking the primacy of plain text - promoting microcontent in the process.
