Hi Stephan,
thanks for the tip on using a data tiddler for the domains. I tried using
your code, but it does not output the domain either when I place it in my
file. The one more level of evaluation is what I was trying to get to by
using what I described as "macro helper". So I changed the template call
from {{!!myTemplate}} to {{||myTemplate}}.
Even in the template itself if I add the fields, it only outputs "
https://sampleserver./sample/path.html"; and not "
https://sampleserver.domA.com/sample/path.html
<https://sampleserver./sample/path.html>"
Can you explain a little more about the $(dom)$ syntax? I only see it in
the "Getting Started" tiddler of tiddlywiki.com
(http://tiddlywiki.com/static/GettingStarted.html), but can't see as part
of the documentation.
Also, I'd like to understand where my thinking is wrong about using
{{!!domain}}. The documentation says "(...)transcluded content behaves as
if it were in the context of the transcluding tiddler". So if the
implementation I attempted works within the tiddler titled "Yet, the
following works:", and if the template does not alter the context of the
currnet tiddler, why does it not work when I'm using the template. Or put
in a different way, when would one want {{!!domain}} to output
"{{!!domain}}" instead of the transcluded content. Why is the transclusion
not cascading?
Thanks for anything you can share with me that will bring my comprehension
to the next level.
Regards,
Robert Naud
