[tw5] Re: referencing colors used in palette instead of using hex code?

[Justin Hurd]

This is exactly what I was looking to do, thank you! I will admit I did 
have to google a word or two, but I think I understand how this functions, 
I'll have to read through your reference work as well, so I can get a 
better understanding of how this works.

[tw5] Re: referencing colors used in palette instead of using hex code?

[TW Tones]

Justin,

This is because you can not concatinate text and the results of your macro  
*<>*  in the way you have. 

The resource I am developing is a reference work 
for all such 
tiddly wiki methods that will help a learner, but in this case you may 
specifically be interested the following;


   - ❷ Widget and HTML attributes or parameters 
   

 
   

Eg 
<$wikify name=styles text="text-align: center; width: 100%; border-radius: 
12px; background-color:<>;">
> >

Content




The above is one solution but you can use others to evaluate the variable 
and concatenate the variable.

The same rules apply to  Widgets as well. 

Another example is;
\define styles() text-align: center; width: 100%; border-radius: 12px; 
background-color:<>;

<$wikify name=styles text="<>">
> >

Content




Regards
Tones
