[tw5] Re: implementing external image path in shiraz image-card macro?
sorry but I still have problems. The macrocall syntax suggested by Tony
and Álvaro does not work, the tiddler displays the code although with the
image itself displayed in place of the image filename. I have tried
replacing
img=<> with img="<>" and even with
the full path to the image.I think shiraz is installed correctly since
the standard syntax < ... >> works fine.
Is it possible that shiraz macros can't be used with MacroCall ? Or (more
likely) the error remains with my incomplete understanding?
I don't know if it matters but I am using TiddlyDesktop under Linux Mint
19.3 and TiddlyWiki 5.1.22 with Shiraz 2.4.0
thanks, bye, Robin
PS My registration with Talk TiddlyWiki 5 Discourse is now complete so I
will continue this discussion, if necessary, over there after this post.
(i had to use an alternative email address, probably some drastic blocking
from my work email security settings, the Talk Discourse confirmation email
never arrived, even in my spam folder)

[tw5] Re: implementing external image path in shiraz image-card macro?
I think that you don't "see" the following text before your cited text:
" *The advantages of the widget formulation are: "*
I think it is easier to understand by looking at the two codeblocks: In the
first block 2 examples with normal syntax and In the second block 3
examples with macro call *widget*.
You have to use de widget. In your case, something like the 2nd example of
2nd codeblock. (But you don't have to use the same indirection in a
macrocall (widget)
<$macrocall $name="image-card" img=<> width=""
align="left" *...*

[tw5] Re: implementing external image path in shiraz image-card macro?
As soon as you want to pass something to a macro that is not in a value
format you can use the macrocall widget, even on your own macros
<$macrocall $name="image-card" img=<> width=""
align:"left" caption="" title="" text="" footer="" pos="top" alt=""/>
But you man not even need to pass the nul values
<$macrocall $name="image-card" img=<> width=""
align:"left" pos="top"/>
