2020-04-04 Thread TonyM
In a related activity I have discovered a way to identify a code tiddler. This would permit referencing the fields in an intermediate tiddler - eg CurrentTiddler transcludes template tiddler - The template tiddler knows its own name and can reference its own fields for config settings

All, Jeremy, Thanks for that info. I am keen to maintain maximum compatibility but I also have private wikis I just want to improve for myself, and simplify the workflow to secure other icons and binary ones for favicons. This may need a bespoke solution with a set of caveats. Such as an

Re: [twdev] Why does the Transclude widget not have a template parameter?

Joshua, I think that explanation is useful. The fact is I write most of my code with currentTiddler the target and use set or list to alter this value as needed. I have being using the templating mechanism to great effect, using `{{||template}}` and relying on the context, ie currentTiddler
