Ciao Mat, * Great you are interested in this!* The ONLY concrete real comment I have is that, IN PRACTICE, is 92.5% of the time, I want to track down ONE macro, and nothing more than that (to be exposed to all macros is NOT really useful to me, in fact that forest loses me!).
*MY issue is only to find in WHICH Tiddler a specific Macro is in.* Full stop. *Not sure if that helps? * But it is a de-limited thing I need. Simply searching to find a (one) named* \define XYZ(**...).* Not sure what others need. But that is all I need. > Mat: Maybe the macros should be findable via some search mechanism Right. I think it has been done? Maybe Mohammad already has the code to do that?
