Hi Richard
Try this:
\define join()
$(qtit)$Q
\end
|!Question Title |<$edit-text tiddler="QT" field="questiontitle"
placeholder="give the question a title" size="60"/>|
<$set name="qtit" value={{QT!!questiontitle}}>
<$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param=<<qtit>>>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" $param=<<join>>/>
Make Tiddlers
</$button>
</$set>
The basic problem with your version was that $param=<<join
QT!!questiontitle>> doesn't work - it's not currently possible to have
transcluded parameters when macro invocations are used as attribute values.
The trick is to use a variable instead.
Best wishes
Jeremy
