Example 2
In a tiddler called CodeTiddler place
Caption: <$edit-text field="caption" size=80/>
In a tiddler called GlobalMacro tagged $:/tags/Macro place
\define edit-caption() {{||CodeTiddler}}
In any tiddler place
<<edit-caption>>
*Notes*
- This does not work on the CodeTiddler itself but you can edit the
current tiddlers caption field on any other tiddler containing the macro
without lag or focus loss.

Tony
