So I've got various different characters of various different species and
various different ways in which a character's name is displayed. I'd like
to format how a character's name is displayed by using the caption field of
a character tiddler. I'm using a macro that uses Tobias's setvars widget,
and it works when I put the macro call into the caption field and manually
enter the parameters for the species and names for the characters.
Here's how it's working (Other species will be added eventually):
\define name_output(species,first,second,third)
<$setvars twothreename="""(\$third$\ ? \$third$, $first$ $second$\) ||
\$second$, $first$\""" formatted_name="""(\$species$\ == \Human\ ?
twothreename ) || (\$species$\ == \Bajoran\ ? \$first$ $second$\) ||
(\$species$\ == \Garbrini\ ? \$second$, $first$ $third$\) || \$first$\""">
<<formatted_name>>
</$setvars>
\end
Here are the fields in an example character tiddler:
caption: <<name_output Human John Brown Doe>>
species: Human
This works fine so far. Here's what I'd like it to do.
1. Pass the title of the character tiddler into a macro, parse the title
as a list, then pass the list to the name_output macro so I don't have to
manually add the name fields to a bunch of already made character tiddlers.
2. Use the species field in the caption field. <<name_output
{{!!species}} name1 name2 name3>> doesn't seem to work as it interprets the
species parameter as {{!!species}} rather than the value of the species
field, although <<name_output Human {{!!title}}>> doesn't have this problem.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
