Re: [tw] Re: A few questions about macros/widgets/functions

If your really looking to understand how the code works, my advice is to look at the sources tab in chrome's developer tools. Press F12 in your browser window, and look at the sources tab, and you should find a bunch of .js files under the no-domain entry in the left hand side. The standard

Just go to the shadow tab of the advanced search. Look for the name of the widget minus the "widget" term. Like button.js I'm guessing that the TextWidget would be simplest because it does the least. There's some documentation how-to on plugins at http://cjhunt.github.io/ though for me I

Macros are more like macros in make scripts. They don't really do anything, but they can concatenate variables or passed values into strings. Variables with <> are actually macro expansions. You can use macros to feed into widgets like <$mywidget text=<>/> Widgets render something right
