Tiddler titles with spaces may either be surrounded with quotes or double
square brackets, depending on your needs.

2017-08-11 Thread mystikite 
Thanks for the info everyone.

Now that i understand it better, i'm using these almost like constants.
rather than having each macro have to determine what the data tiddler, and 
state tiddler is i define them once via the macros.
and i am finding that being able to reference the values inside other 
macros as $(macro)$ is sometimes more flexible than <>.

I'm learning that 99% of my troubles come from being unable to use 
<> inside quotes and similar issues w/ tiddler titles having spaces 
in them

2017-08-10 Thread 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki 
When you use the $(variable)$ construction inside a macro, it substitutes 
the text literally, without rendering.

So when the #*#@&* DO things render? And how do you control it? This is the 
kind of thing that can make you bang your head against the wall for hours.

Fortunately, we now have the <$wikify> widget. The <$wikify> widget renders 
the text it is given, allowing a more sane programming flow. So your code 
can now be written:

\define myStateTid() """$:/state/$(currentTiddler)$"""

\define buttontest2()
<$wikify name=hawaii text=<>>
  <$button set=<> setTo="edit">Press2
\end

<>
