Flibbles,
Thanks, I never intended to be part of relink, only you are working on code
to replace things within the text field according to what surrounds it.
- So I was thinking perhaps you could extract the code to say replace
##placeholder## with "this".
- Just a suggestion ignore at will
But then your suggestion is a good one
\define body()
Dear $(name)$,
I write to inform you that your pet, $(pet)$ has filed for emancipation.
\end
I tested it you can place the above in a tiddler tagged $:/tags/Macro and
it works just as well.
There may be a variation on this trick, so I expect I will find something
even more useful from this lead.
Thanks for the great Tip
Tony
