Hi Mark
> Some of my macros have become quite complex and difficult to read
You can use line breaks to make things a bit easier to read:
\define cite(citekeys:"")
(<$list filter="$citekeys$ +[sort[]] +[each[authors]] +[first[]]">
<<citeauths>>
<$list filter="$citekeys$ +[authors{!!authors}] +[sort[]]">,
<$link tiddler="currentTiddler">{{!!year}}</$link>
</$list>
</$list>
<$list filter="$citekeys$ +[sort[]] +[each[authors]] +[rest[]]">;
<<citeauths>>
<$list filter="$citekeys$ +[authors{!!authors}] +[sort[]] ">,
<$link tiddler="currentTiddler">
{{!!year}}
</$link>
</$list>
</$list>)
\end
You can also include comments of the form <!-- this is a comment -->
The only thing to watch out for is that in a very few situations those line
breaks will affect formatting. The line breaks are preserved into the HTML.
HTML semantics generally mean that adjacent whitespace is collapsed
together, so typically the whitespace generated by the linebreaks is
collapsed into adjacent white space.
Best wishes
