[twdev] Re: Programmatic generation of macros

[TonyM]

Bimlas,

Thanks for the suggestions.

It seems to me the process to generate some macros may be an active process 
but the result needs to be a static tiddler, tagged for macros. Though I 
will keep looking for a hack. 

I interested in perhaps using the discovery of fields to generate macros by 
the same name, perhaps even build such a macro as the result of a wizard, 
eg define qualities of the field and capture it in macros for the fields 
later use.

Just experimenting

Tony

Just played with nested macro 
definitions: https://bimlas.gitlab.io/demo/tw5/nested-macro-definition.html

If I could use variables in transclusion, I could modify 
https://bimlas.gitlab.io/demo/tw5/generate-macros-by-tags.html 

 to 
let it work, but the macro is exists only "inside" wikify widget, you 
cannot acces it from outside.

Bump,

No answer, so just started some further experimentation.

Its quite easy to build the text that would form a set of macro 
definitions. A single button could write this to a tiddler with the tag 
$:/tags/Macro

\define append-text(tiddlername totiddlername)
<$list filter="[[$tiddlername$]get[text]]" variable=line>
  \define :<>() {{<>}}

\end
<>


Notice how I am considering creating macros with a leading: semi-colon.

Any other ideas?

Regards
Tony
