They're just simple strings of characters, and not parsed at all. This is true both of the default values specified on the *\define* line, and of the values passed when a macro is called. A macro call returns a string that is the value/definition of the underlying variable/macro, with any *$parameter$* placeholders filled in via trivial textual replacement. Only once the string has been returned does it finally get parsed. For the same reason, the following weirdness also works: *\define concat(1 2 3 4 5) $1$$2$$3$$4$$5$<<concat {{ Hello There } }>>* – æ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
