Some quick tips - In filters you can use the trim operator to remove spaces that creep in - If defining macros (especially buttons) use \whitespace trim to eliminate unwanted white space - As soon as there is a line break in code that aims to concatenate values you can introduce additional spaces. put them on a single line as in my example below
I imagine your messy macro was due to debugging? This works! \define multi-line-example() xx<$set name="var1" value="A">yy<$set name="var2" value="B">zz<<var1>><<var2>>zz</$set>yy</$set>xx \end Regards Tones On Tuesday, 1 June 2021 at 02:13:19 UTC+10 [email protected] wrote: > > Hi, > > I've been writing a macro that involves a couple of nested <$set ...> > widgets and have spent several hours pulling my hair out, because there > were leading and trailing spaces surrounding the parsed macro value that I > wasn't putting there, and that were breaking what I wanted to do... > > I've finally tracked it down to the macro having each of the <$set ...> > tags and their respective closing tags on separate lines (simple example > below).
