I first hoped for the strex macro to implement something similar to the tab macro's "retain" option, but there still would be issues with other features that do not retain the elements. And, as you say, that's just not the way TW is designed. > How would this work?

Maybe others can help here. Thanks for pointing me in the right directions! I will look into the state mechanism and the pragmas, but it may take some time until I come up with something... > All the best, > Thomas (the one who built strex) Kind regards, Florian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
