Here is the documentation for the set widget http://tiddlywiki.com/#SetWidget And you use it like <$set name="constantname" value=((!!field}}> Then all the child elements of the tag (think xml), will have that variable available to them. In a macro you can also use $(constantname)$ as a placeh

It's better if you explain what it is that you want to accomplish than insist on how it gets accomplished. The variable <> is available to all "children" of a tiddler, assuming that by children you mean transcluded or templated tiddlers. If you have some other interpretation of what children a

Tony, that sounds like advanced requirements for programming ("similar" inheritance, wow!) that requires a concept, something like a data/structure model and documentation – not exactly stuff that should be covered by standard functionality or a beginner documentation ;–) The more we know the more
