Thanks for the explanation (and sorry for suggesting in the original subject line that I had multiple questions - I really only had the one!). Obviously, part of my problem was that I thought I *was* testing a minimal case before I sent my question: I tested what happened when I removed the ##show inside the ToggleSliders tiddler itself. But as you point out, that doesn't work!
After further investigation, I think my troubles are due to the fact that I was using ExpandSliders in transclusion. I can work around this, but if you do want to see examples of the way I had been using ExpandSliders, you can see them at: http://cmtest.tiddlyspot.com As an aside, I'd like to note that it took me some time to create a "minimal" test case (my file is old and has many moving parts). To me, this underscores the most serious shortcoming of TW: it's really hard to share it with someone else, or even just to explain how to reproduce a certain result. Exporting a set of tiddlers seems like the best way to do things - but that still requires identifying all the plugins, scripts, CSS, etc. that are being called upon when any given tiddler is viewed. cmari On Oct 3, 10:47 am, Eric Shulman <[email protected]> wrote: > > I had been using an ExpandSliders script that I recently noticed is no > > longer in tiddlytools.
