In order to pass a value "by reference" to a macro call (while not inside a macro definition), you need to expand it out to the full <$macrocall> widget: ``` <$set name=bgcol value="7"> <div style=<<nowandthen m:11 v:2>>> <$macrocall $name=nowandthen m=11 v=<<bgcol>> />"<<bgcol>>" </div> </$set> ```
