Thanks so much Eric,
Just what I wanted to know. I assume as long as my tag pill inner is lower
on the list of items tagged $:./tags/Macro then it will override the core?
Such core macro overrides would be a useful thing, perhaps however we need
a mechanism to indicate when this is occurring?
Here I use the variable tag-label and default to the tag name
<$text text={{{ [[$(tag-label)$]!is[blank]] ~[[$tag$]] }}}/>
calling tags as follows
<$vars tag-label="argle bargle"><<tag>></$vars>
Thanks again, this is a tip I expect to use elsewhere
Tones
