The only place where TiddlyWiki does textual substitution is with macro parameters and variable substitutions. Macro parameters are substituted with $parametername$ Variable substitutions within macros are substituted with $(variablename)$ Everywhere else, TiddlyWiki uses transclusion - what you've called "late binding". > What would be the best place to add documentation?
