You can't substitute the < > brackets in the middle of a string like that.
You can only substitute them inside a filter expression where a square
bracket would have occurred. But there is a trick to concatenating strings
in filters using the "addprefix" and "addsuffix" operators. So your filter
expression might look like this:
"[[$:/.somewhere/]addsuffix<myvar>]"
But there's a way you can skip "set" and "list" completely:
\define mymacro(index1)
<$tiddler tiddler={{{
[[tiddler1]getindex[$index1$]addprefix[$:/.somewhere/]] }}}>
{{||$:/.somewhere/templates/mytemplate}}
</$tiddler>
\end
Remember to end your macro definitions with \end, BTW.
