This puzzles me: <$macrocall $name="currentTab" $type="text/plain" $output="text/plain"/>
This means you're invoking the actual contents of the current tiddler (in a tab) as a macro. It appears to be the fallback if the caption field isn't available. I'm wondering why it isn't just: <$text text=<<currentTab>>/> If it works .... ok I guess. Be sure to test your code without a caption field to see what happens.
