Highly instructive, much appreciated.
Could you post an example TW file, please?

Hello,
Usually I am asking stupid questions but this time I wanted to share a
tip.
I put together a TiddlyWiki document consisting of many documents all
with tables of contents embedded in the top and tiddlers with the
document tag below. I found when I wanted to change the format of the
tables of content, I had to go through every document. Also when I
cloned the document to start a new one, I had to hand edit the call to
the TOC macro. Rather than make a custom TOC macro call for each
document, I made a generic global macro that can be embedded in each
document that will produce the TOC for that document based on the
current tiddler title.
Howto:
Put this macro in a separate tiddler:
\define currenttoc()
<div class="tc-table-of-contents">
<$macrocall $name="toc-selective-expandable" tag=<<currentTiddler>>
sort="nsort[order]" />
</div>
\end
and tag the tiddler with $:/tags/Macro to make the macro usable in all
tiddlers.
Now in each new document, just add <<currenttoc>> where you want a TOC.
Combine this with a:
{{{[tag<currentTiddler>nsort[order]]||document_template_tiddler}}}
in the same tiddler and you have a very reusable document seed. Every
new sub-document text simply contains:
<<currenttoc>>
{{{[tag<currentTiddler>nsort[order]]||document_template_tiddler}}}
All that is needed to start a new document is clone an existing one,
change the tiddler title and start adding sections using the "New
Here" option on the section root tiddler.
It is easy to globally control the format/filter of all your separate
sub-documents via two tiddlers, the one containing the global
currenttoc macro and document_template_tiddler.
I added the nsort[order] filter so that I could add an order field to
my sections and manually change the ordering. Alphabetical-numerical
order based on title isn't always what you want for section headings
(e.g. §1.1, §1.2, §1.3 ... §1.10, §1.11, §1.12).
Hope this helps someone,
/Mike
