Thanks for the heads-up! Inc's new super power has driven me tabs-crazy (well, more than I already was). It's great to be only one click away from the source tiddler of a tab at any given moment — without having to manually add links in tiddlers pointing to themselves. On Wednesday, January

Thanks, Eric! Your example works beautifully, but it fails when I replace "mymacro" with the actual name of the other macro I'm trying to invoke — which leads me to believe my problem isn't the filtering but the nesting of macrocalls within macrocalls. The "outer" macro is intended to invoke

Hi, Andrew — You've probably noticed tiddlers can have custom fields. You can add a field by filling in the "field name" and "field value" boxes at the bottom of a tiddler while in edit view and clicking the "add" button. You could create a field named "caption" and give it a value of

The "References" tab under the infopanel may help. (Just select "info" from the Hedwig tiddler's dropdown menu.) I'd probably still use the TW search to search for "TW" in tiddler text, too. If nothing else, it might provide a clue as to what you were thinking when that tiddler got created

Perhaps the core could treat it as a fallback case? I.e.: - if the value of "list-before" matches an item in the list field of some tiddler somewhere, then TW handles "list-before" as it always has - but if it *doesn't*, TW makes a second pass, treating the contents of

Good idea, BJ! You could also leave off the pragma and just set the tiddler-type to text/plain. That too would allow you to transclude it elsewhere without wikification. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. To unsubscribe from this
