Hi Danielo and Jeremy.
Thanks for your prompt replies - encouraged by these, I tried again and
succeeded.
The issue concerned a large set of action tiddlers, each of which has one
of a limited number of categories, each category having a note (tiddler).
There are practical reasons why it is more convenient to allocate the
categories to action tiddlers in a data dictionary. I then needed to
transclude the category and associated category note tiddler into each
action tiddler. I also created a template for the action tiddlers using
Stephan Hradek's global macro technique to generate transclusions for
category & category note which depended on the action tiddler title.
I tried many times to get this to work yesterday, getting increasingly
convoluted as I searched for a solution, then deleted my attempts in
frustration. When I tried again from scratch this morning, it worked. I
can only assume that I made a fundamental mistake yesterday and could not
see it for looking.
I must say I am very impressed with the power of TW5, even if I sometimes
fail to get things right first time.
