It sets the width of the story river container. Although individual tiddlers are independently sized, and don't take their size from the container, content at the top or bottom of the story column does take this width.\r\n\r\nTo see this happen, create a new tiddler at http://tiddlywiki.com with the tag `$:/tags/AboveStory` and the content:\r\n\r\n```\r\nThis is above the story\r\n\r\n----\r\n```\r\n\r\nThen you'll see how the width of the horizontal rule is determined by the story width setting.\r\n\r\nI do agree that this is all highly confusing, but I think the options for resolving it are limited: either a complete overhaul of how the parts fit together (with the attendant pain in the upgrade process), or we improve the documentation provided on the theme tweaks tab.\r\n"}}
