Dave,
I have gone down this path before. In various batch/command languages there
is a reference for all parameters in a macro but not in tiddlywiki, but I
do not see what you gain with your laziness, other than more complexity,
thus work. Here are a few ways to call a macro with multiple words; I could
possibly come up with half dozen more if you want.
\define h(txt) <mark>$txt$</mark>
\define hvar() <mark>$(text)$</mark>
\define hfield(fieldname) <mark>{{!!$fieldname$}}</mark>
<<h text to highlight>>
<<h "text in quotes">>
<<h 'text in single quotes'>>
<<h """text in triple quotes""">>
<<h txt:"text as named parameter">>
<$macrocall $name=h txt="text as named parameter in macrocall"/>
<<h """
This allows even sentences
to be passed across<br>
multiple lines in one parameter
""">>
<$macrocall $name=h
txt="text as named parameter in macrocall"/>
<<hfield caption>>
<$set name=text value="Text in a specific variable name">
<<hvar>>
</$set>
But perhaps just use this
