[tw] Re: [TW5] MacroCall Widget & sub-macros
Unfortunately they don't show the contents of the "textMaker" macro. I
imagine it would have worked as long as "textMaker" didn't use a transclude
widget.

[tw] Re: [TW5] MacroCall Widget & sub-macros
I got it from what was used as 3rd example
on http://tiddlywiki.com/#MacroCallWidget. Looks like there are a few
errors on it. It works now, thanks.

[tw] Re: [TW5] MacroCall Widget & sub-macros
Even though they may sometimes seem to perform as functions, macros just
support text substitution. Your version would have had a widget inside of a
widget, which probably won't work, except on the 2nd Tuesday of months with
full moons. Or something. I don't quite have it right yet.
This code seems to work. Hopefully it will be close to what you need:
\define myDataMacro(var2) <$transclude tiddler="$:/data/dataExample" index
={{$var2$!!keyfield}} />
<$macrocall $name="myDataMacro" var2={{!!mytarget}} />
