You didn't miss anything obvious, but you need an extra step. I stumbled on this mostly by accident but you need to use a set widget and then reference the variable in a macro like this:
\define genurl() http://somesite/$(url_part)$ <$set name=url_part value={{!!somefield}}> <a href=<<genurl>> >{{!!someotherfield}}</a> </$set> There are examples in the code of http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#YouTube%20Video%20Annotations I am not sure why this way works and the other way doesn't, I think it is because the set widget takes the target of the reference but the macro just inserts the text reference ( so {{!!somefield}} ) directly without evaluating anything. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
