Why are the quotes required?

Thus, a value like `http://foo.org` is parsed as a parameter named "http", with a value of "//foo.org". By enclosing it in quotes, it avoids the named parameter parsing and passes it into the macro as a single parameter value So... you can use the quotes to bypass the parameter name parsing: `<<todoLink "http://foo.org"; bar>>` or, you can add a parameter *name*, like this: `<<todoLink url: http://foo.org bar>>`. Either way, it's going to be "more typing" (but only a little). Still, its less typing than the full `<$macrocall ...>` widget syntax. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
