For kicks, I decided to try turning the macro tiddler into a template and rendering through that on the command line, and this worked. Viz., I added to the bottom of the *testmacro* tiddler:
<$transclude mode="block" /> Then ran: "$(npm bin)/tiddlywiki" --render '[[test2]]' "[is[tiddler]addsuffix[.html]]" text/html "testmacro" And now I got, as expected: <p><p>Hello world!</p><p>Some more nice text.</p><p>Signing off.</p></p> Obviously, this is a rather hacky "solution" to the problem, so while this will do for now for my use case, I'd still appreciate knowing if this is supposed to work, and perhaps a note in the documentation if it is not supposed to work.
