Hi Tobias Sorry for the late reply.
Transcluding with the curly braces syntax actually generates a nested pair of a tiddler widget to set the current tiddler and a transclude widget to do the transclusion. So the result is just like TWC - by default, transcluding a tiddler sets the current tiddler to that tiddler. > When something is tagged $:/tag/PageTemplate ...this context is?!? I don't know That's the point, neither do I! If there was a sensible default we could implement it. Anyhow, if you're underlying problem is that you'd like to be able to create wikitext that displays differently according to whether it is in the sidebar or in a tiddler, then there has been a thread about that here that you should be able to find. Best wishes Jeremy.
