Tones,
just seeking some clarification.
1. All macros are stored in the text field of the tiddler
$:/bobj/gallery-ops/macros and this tiddler has the tag $:/tags/Macro or is
each macro stored in a separate tiddler named
$:/bobj/gallery-ops/name_of_macro with the tag $:/tags/Macro
2. I assume all view templates would be renamed to have the prefix
$:/bobj/gallery-ops/ and remain tagged with $:/tags/ViewTemplate
3. What do you mean by 'You can then collect code into functional tiddlers'
