Ste, Of course you could use Evans formulas plugin for more advanced math.
I am was advanced basic coder from way back. The problem is basic is a procedural language, in you question part of computing the result is to call subroutines etc.. This is not the way its done in tiddlywiki although you can have transclusions operating similarly. If instead you can take you basic code back to pseudocode I think you will find it easier to then find the tools in tiddlywiki to do the job. For example marks formulae once you write the "problem" as Tsine(x) =x-(x^3)/6+(x^5)/120 this should be able to be put in evans formula plugin in his cude mushroom brackets (= formulae =) including references to fields and variables. Although I would love to be better versed in Javascript inclusion in tiddlywiki my opinion is that you would find value in learning how to implement such solutions in tiddlywiki rather than reverting to javascript or your own development in understanding tiddlywiki, increased reusability over bespoke java script, and much more shareable solutions. Basically move into native tiddlywiki plus generalised plugins. Once you have mastered native tiddlywiki you may discover some gaps (Not so many remain) which you could remedy with a general solution in javascript you can share with the community and advance tiddlywiki further.
