Thank you for looking at this Tony,
when I take out the quotes,
Enter code here..\define sprk2(val)
<$sparkl values="$val$"/> $val$ :: <$sparkl values="13 7 19 15"/>
\end
\define sprk()
<$macrocall $name=sprk2 val={{||vasSumGraph}}/>
\end
..<<sprk>>...
here's what happens
As you can see, now the part that simply passes the text $val$ disappears,
so that's why I thought the quotes were required.
I've also tried taking out the quotes further up (for the widget) like this:
\define sprk2(val)
<$sparkl values=$val$/> $val$ :: <$sparkl values="13 7 19 15"/>
\end
\define sprk()
<$macrocall $name=sprk2 val="{{||vasSumGraph}}"/>
\end
and I end up with this:
i.e. the little graph thing (again) just disappears (compared with the
original picture in the first post)
