HI Eric:

>From your latest email I've incorporated the number of times targetString 
was matched and the div for the showOutput.
I've also echoed the input parameters to formatTid.highlightText and added 
a "pane" format for the target string.

Thanks to your help it keeps getting better and better.
Here is a screen shot of the results.

Thanks again
Steve

Eric:

I made some additional tweaks to your solution to:

* narrow selection list to list of tiddlers that actually contain the 
targetString
* provide a GO button so that macro does not have to run for every 
keystroke in the edit box
* added a reveal so that macro is run only if a source tiddler was selected 
* added parameter to set the highlightColor

Tony: 
* I'll look into codemirror
* there did not appear to be a link for your playground wiki 

Thanks to all that responded!

[tw5] Re: How to highlight targetStrings within a macro with splitregex/join, i.e., treat the macro as a string?

['steve' via TiddlyWiki]

Update:

This time I tried a macro with a filter that used goFish in a filter. See 
below.
Nothing was listed in the outputText. 
Tomorrow I'll look at the literal output text.



\define goFish()

!!! This example has five goFish

!!! This goFish is in a macro.
<$list filter="[search:text[goFish]]" variable="match">

Eric:

Very tricky indeed but you made it look simple! 

It worked - yay! I am trying some more complex examples including 
embedded macro calls and will report back.

Thanks!

[tw5] Re: How to highlight targetStrings within a macro with splitregex/join, i.e., treat the macro as a string?

['steve' via TiddlyWiki]

Hi Tony, Saq:

More about my use case ...

When I look at macro (code) in the editor it is very easy for me to 
overlook variable or macro names that I want to change
and so I fail to update all of them.  The purpose of the 
formatTid.highlightText macro is to create a highlighted copy of the macro 
code
with the css @@color:blue; targetString@@ imbedded around each instance of 
the targetString.

Tony: I am working through your suggestions -- thanks.
Saq: I tried dynannotate and it does what I want with regular text -- 
thanks!  I could not get it to work with text within macro code.

Is there a why to treat/convert/escape (?) macro code (ie anything between 
\define and \end as a string without executing/running it?

Thanks Again
Steve

[tw5] How to highlight targetStrings within a macro with splitregex/join, i.e., treat the macro as a string?

['steve' via TiddlyWiki]

Hello:

I am working on a macro to highlight target strings within the text field 
of a tiddler.  
The use case is to make it easier to for me see where the targetStrings are 
(if any).   

My question is how to highlight the targetString in the macro (ie. treating 
the macro as a string) as opposed to (apparently) executing the macro 
and highlighting the targetString in the output.

!!! Here is the macro
```
\define formatTid.highlightText(inputText targetString)

<$set name="outputText" filter="[[$inputText$]] 
+[splitregexp[\b$targetString$\b]join[@@color:blue;$targetString$@@]]" 
select="0">

| ''outputText''|<> |

\end
<$macrocall $name="formatTid.highlightText" 
inputText={{highlightTest.sentence!!text}} targetString="goFish"/>
```

The macro works as expected (goFish is highlighted in blue) when the text 
field contains

```
This goFish is in a sentence.
```

The macro works partially (i.e., goFish is highlighted only for the 
comment).

```
\define goFish()

!!! This example has three instances of goFish.

\end
<>
```

[tw5] Re: where are the checkbox images used by the checkbox widget?

['steve' via TiddlyWiki]

Hi Eric

I'll look into using  instead of images in the 
toggle-in-field macro suggested by Mat from another thread about using 
checkboxes to add/delete items in a field.

Thanks

['steve' via TiddlyWiki]

Hi

I looked in core (specifically in $:/core/images/) for the checkbox images 
used by the checkbox widget (see below) but could not find an image with 
checkbox in the title. Where should I be looking for these?


Thanks

[tw5] Re: request extension to checkbox widget to support adding/deleting multiple keywords per field

['steve' via TiddlyWiki]

Hi

Suggestion for a "list mode" for checkbox widget.



 * shows checkbox as checked if field contains the tag, unchecked otherwise;
 * appends tag to field when box is checked;
 * removes tag from field when box is unchecked;
 * does NOT default to text if field not provided;
 * filter field content using current regex or search filter operators;
 * alternatively filter content using tag:fieldName[tag] construct (default 
is to used the tag field);

Meanwhile I'll read more about (
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1957 

).

[tw5] Re: request extension to checkbox widget to support adding/deleting multiple keywords per field

['steve' via TiddlyWiki]

Hi Again

Mark S: I am treating the field as a list and using listops to add/remove 
keywords as you noted in your response. Also I posted a tiddler-level view 
(ie. edit view) above.

Mat: The toggle-in-field capability you suggested appears to provide the 
functionality I was looking for as does the feature cited by Mat 
(https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1957).

TonyM: My current solution meets my requirement of adding/removing keywords 
via checkbox, the problem is that I have to use tags with a state tiddler 
in order to do it.  Rather than changing the "tag mode" of checkbox I was 
thinking more along the lines of augmenting the "field mode".

PMario: I am not seeing the problem with there is a problem with 
checkactions and uncheckactions in my implementation.

Thanks to all that responded.

Steve W
