You're not alone. As Eric pointed out, you basically use macros to trigger

Hi Eric,
That seems to be the final tweak. I put the triple quotes in (not BJ)
before I realized that the name/argument were mismatched. I fixed the
mismatch, but should have removed the quotes.
I'm still very confused about all this. If all that a macro does is
substitution, how does it

should be:
<$macrocall $name="amacro" x={{$:/html2tw/title}}/>
e.g., remove the tripled-quotes so that the parameter retrieves the value
Could be more problems but one is it should probably read:
<$set name="name_of_tiddler" value="$x$">
i.e with quotes around $x$. Maybe even """$x$""".

Thanks BJ. I had great hopes for this approach. But in this case,
<> is empty and doesn't even show up when dropped in ... as

I had to tweak your suggested code to match up parameter and argument
names. I put the label THIS IS EMPTY to show where there's no contents at

Hi mark,
this is a typical tw5 2'gotcha'
<$set name="text2convert" value=<> >
the macro only does basic text substitution.
You need to use this pattern
<$set name="text2convert" value={{$x$}} >
and so must put your code inside a macro
\define amacro(x)
<$set name="name_of_tiddler"
Hi Jed,
I've tried this in all sorts of iterations. I was hoping that wrapping a
macro in a macro could finally force it to acknowledge the actual text in
the dereferenced name tiddler.
Your variation put this into the "converted" tiddler:
*{{TitleIUsedInTheForm}}*
So the literal string with
It is probably the <$set name="text2convert" value=<> > line
that does it.
Why don't you just use one macro instead of creating a macro that just
calls a second macro? Make textin:
\define textin() {{$(name_of_tiddler)$}}
and use that as the value for text2convert instead of textin2
