IT actually sounds like we want something closer to a transcluded-template.
So, we are going to use 1) a tiddler marked as a global macro and 2) a
template tiddler, and 3) a CSS tiddler, 4) a "tip" tiddler.
This example mirrors the "documentation macros" from the TiddlyWiki website.
In any tiddler tagged `$:/tags/Macro`
```
\define !tip(tiddler)
<$tiddler tiddler="$tiddler$"><$transclude
tiddler="$:/templates/importantTip"/></$tiddler>
\end
```
Then in `$:/templates/importantTip` we can have:
```
<div class="tip-block"><div class="tip-icon">{{$:/core/images/tip}}</div>
<$view tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field="text"/></div>
```
And then we have a tiddler tagged wit `$:/tags/Stylesheet`:
```
.tip-block { border-left: 2px solid #e1e1e8; margin-left: 3em;
padding-left: 0.6em; position: relative; }
.tip-icon { position: absolute; left: -3em; top: 0.2em; }
.tip-icon .tc-image-tip { fill: #5778d8; }
```
Finally in `TiddlerWithTipText` the text field contains:
```
This is a very important tip!
```
Now that is all setup, we can- in any other tiddler we like - call it like
this:
```
Content that sets up context for a user tip.
<<!tip "tiddlerWithTipText>>
```
I have attached a quick screenshot of this in action on TiddlyWiki.com. I
hope this helps demonstrate how combining just a few basic tiddlywiki
concepts can be very powerful.
Some thing to note. In the macro, the `$variable$` text substitution will
only work within the macro, which is why it is not used in the transcluded
template. Instead, we set the <$tiddler> widget in the macro, and then in
the template we call the <<currentTiddler>> variable (set by the $tiddler
macro). If we want to extend this to be more flexible, we could allow the
<<!tip>> macro to take another parameter like so:
```
\define !tip(tiddler, template:"$:/templates/importantTip")
<$tiddler tiddler="$tiddler$"><$transclude tiddler="$template$"/></$tiddler>
\end
```
Now we can call it with one parameter, and it will use the default
template. If we call it with 2 parameters it will use the value of the 2nd
a the template tiddler to transclude.
Best,
