Hi Soren, So in your first example of a render command, you aren't providing a template to render the tiddler through. So the actual content with no extra processing gets rendered.
Macros in TiddlyWiki are made available (or not) by the templates you use. For example, note the third line in: https://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Ftemplates%2Fserver%2Fstatic.tiddler.html \import [[$:/core/ui/PageMacros]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/Macro]! has[draft.of]] You can place that in any template you use to render your tiddlers to make global macros available. You will find that the same line appears in $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate as well. Hope this helps, Saq On Sunday, May 10, 2020 at 3:55:58 AM UTC+2, Soren Bjornstad wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm having a strange problem trying to render HTML with the Node --render > command.
