Thanks, I'll look into this.
I did realise that the myMacro was only an example :) - the problem was/is
that I should be able to pass data to the macro, and the {{...}} should
cause the included expression to be evaluated before being passed as data
to the macro. So then, the store.getTiddlerText("YourTiddlerName") should
be evaluated and the text the passed off to myMacro.
So, if that understanding is correct, I had 2 apparent problems:
1.) should I use tiddler.getTiddlerText (as per wiki), or
store.getTiddlerText (as per tiddlySpace FAQ)? From your reply I can see
that you favour the latter, so I'll persist with that
2.) no apparent evaluation was occurring inside the {{...}}. Again, using
your reply I can seen an alternative, but I'm still a little curious as to
what's happening in my initial situation.
Anyway, on the cat-skinning principle, I'll wander off and try your
suggestion(s) & let you know how it goes.
Thanks again, Andrew
