Incrementally and iteratively, getting to Railroad Diagram ZEN.
A barebones-beginning railroad diagram editor tagged as
$:/tags/ViewTemplate, with one edit text field to enter the railroad
diagram text, and the other edit field to describe the bits in the diagram.
The macros to transclude the
The only way for me to remember that "=" prefix, I think, is by applying it
often.
Taking Brian's approach to simplify things by dumping addsuffix and
addprefix:
```
<$railroad text={{{
=[["]] =[] =[["]]
=[["("]]
=[[<"numValue1">]]
=[[","]]
=[[<"numValue2">]]
=[[")"]]
+[join[]]
}}}>
```

Delayed reaction:
I do very much like this, though:
```
[["]] [] =[["]]
```
I rarely run into de-duplication issues, so I keep forgetting about that
"x-nay de-duplication, eh?" prefix.
I've got to figure out a way to remember that.

Looking back at my OP, it became a game of Where's Waldo because of a
mismatch between the number of lines in the macrocall and number of nodes
in the railroad diagram.
The fix:
```
!! Syntax
<$railroad text={{{
[addprefix["]addsuffix["]]
[["("]]
[[<"numValue1">]]
[[","]]
[[<"numValue2">]]
Definitely more concise with fewer square brackets going on.
My challenge is it makes it harder to make a one-to-one relationship
between the "bubbles" in the diagram and the pieces related to the
bubbles. Kind of like I'm playing a game of "Where's Waldo".
But that's part and parcel of my

Here is one I find simpler (YMMV):
```
<$railroad text={{{
[["]addsuffixaddsuffix["]]
[["(" <"numValue1"> "," <"numValue2">
I'm documenting two BASIC Anywhere Machine functions: MIN and MAX .
I'm using the railroad plugin to describe syntax.
MIN and MAX having identical syntax (and I've got many other cases like
this), I wanted to define the railroad diagram once for both the MIN and
MAX tiddlers.
I created a
