Hi cmari A variable set with the <$set> widget must be called with the syntax $(variable)$.
A variable passed as a parameter to a macrocall must be called with the syntax $parameter$. In your case you have set the value of the variable 'now' with a <$set> widget: <$set name="now" value=[[!!current}}> In the macro, therefore, the correct syntax is $(now)$ In this case, when calling the macro <<nexttag>> -- no parameter is passed with the call, and the (now) parameter of the macro definition is superfluous. The definition should read: \define nexttag() ... regards On Wednesday, July 2, 2014 1:50:16 AM UTC+2, cmari wrote: > > Thank you both, Måns and Stephan - that's a great improvement!
