I'm thinking most folk prefer the macro route, and that makes sense to me.
The way I'm wired, I usually go with transclusions unless I really don't
have a choice. Can't explain it.
*For the "variety is the spice of life" giggles*:
<$list filter="whateveFilterHere">
<$transclude tiddler={{{ [<currentTiddler>addsuffix[_EN]]}}} /> <br/>
</$list>
But that would be a pain in the caboose if spread all over the place.
So sticking with my transclusion mentality...
<$list filter="whateveFilterHere">
{{||EN_Maker}} <br/>
</$list>
The tiddler "En_Maker" is a transclusion template tiddler with the
following content:
<$transclude tiddler={{{ [<currentTiddler>addsuffix[_EN]]}}} />
Yeah, I'm quirky that way ...
