Hi Eric Thank you for explaining things - and correcting my mistakes..
I'd like to be able to use this newtiddler call in the same template: <<newTiddler label: [[create]] text:[[/%\n!$2\nterm:\n!$3\ndefinition: \n!end %/]] tag:[[$1]] focus:title\>\> How would I get the bracketed list of tags into the new tiddler macro?
