Paul,
Just a few notes to help.
Marks suggestion is great. It is important to understand
{{<contentTiddler>}}
Is simply not valid syntax. You are trying to use the simplified version
before using the general version.
However a slight variation looks similar
{{{ [<contentTiddler>] }}}
The triple braces allow you to use a inline filter
and since you want to transclude tiddler with the name
<$transclude tiddler={{{ [<contentTiddler>] }}} />
untested!
However you can be more direct
<$transclude tiddler=<<contentTiddler>> />
However as Mark points out you can reference the field content of the
current tiddler directly for transclusion tiddler name
<$transclude tiddler={{!!content-tiddler}}/>
Regards
Tony
