[tw5] Re: Transclude via template *field* - does it work in short form?
Mat,
I am not suggesting we document every permutation of replaceable parameters but
that most examples include at least one especially when the appropriate ones
are limited. I also think a full macrocall version for macros also makes sense
because it can contain all the key=value pairs for parameters so we can copy
it, paste it and alter the parameters as needed. The macrocall version works
well with most replaceable parameters.
When there are different forms of a widget they could be spelt out in an
example.
The gap we need to address is examples with only literals do not demonstrate
the best approach to coding.
When a designer creates a macro to capture the parameters to supply one or more
widgets they open the design to allow the passing of parameters of most
variables etc...
Personally I am happy to raise the Push requests or documentation changes
because it saves me time in the end.
Using the double curly braces raised in this thread only the $(var)$ and $var$
are workable and they only operate in macros. Also using {{||template}} is easy
because it assumes currentTiddler so a good design pattern is to write most
macros to operate on current Tiddler. If we can give users these hints in the
doco I think we reduce the barriers to adoption.
Personally I find most of the examples illustrative but I never use them
because they contain named tiddlers and are unusable in any way except specific
cases, Not in global macros or the view template.
regards
Tony

One with $direct$, another with $(indirect)$ a third with both, etc. I'm not saying it's undoable or even a bad idea but we can't expect it for tiddlywiki.com (or who would do all the pr's?). IMO the *only* reasonable way to get a comprehensive, or at least a large, collection of such examples is TWederation that would allow for gradually accumulated and collectively contributed such examples. It is a huge difference between making a PR to github and to merely, say, tag a tiddler in your own connected wiki to allow it to be publicly accessible. (Because that is how sharing could be done.) ...any year now ;-) <:-) > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

That we also provide such examples.
The one you show must be in a macro I believe, others work outside macros,
in widgets and others do not.
If for not other reason we have an example to copy to clipboard,
Regards
Tony

...so are you saying the examples should be in the form
{{$(tiddler)$!!$(field)$}}
or what are you suggesting?

Just an aside I use the transclusions of field content a lot but of note I often have replaceable values so that I write reusable code. Ie the tiddler name or field name varies. Now this is an ongoing frustration for me because allmost every method or syntax documented has literals for tiddlername filenames etc.. And it is not always straitforward to add replaceable values.
