Bimlas, I really like CSS variables and they give a lot of flexibility see https://blog.logrocket.com/how-to-create-better-themes-with-css-variables-5a3744105c74/ See default values, scope, overwriting, ... But I have no experience to see what are the pros and cons of using CSS variables in Tiddlywiki. Just experimenting today I realized for example:
1. CSS variables only works in a CSS tiddler (e.g you have to set tiddler type to text/css) 2. CSS variables can be used in a mixed way with transclusion @PMario, I think IE will be retired soon, as Microsoft has dropped its support in 2021, but it is believed some corporates computers may use IE for extended times and I think Tiddlywiki may drop supports several years later :-) On Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at 12:14:05 PM UTC+3:30 bimlas wrote: > The question arose in me, "Why use CSS variables if TiddlyWiki can handle > them too?".
