There are a few issues here: 1) The very first line of http://tiddlywiki.com/#LinkWidget says: > The link widget generates links to tiddlers. (Use the HTML <a> element to > generate external links). Thus, you should not be using the <$link> widget to create an external link. 2) There's no need to use variable="tidname" in the <$list> widget, as it just complicates things. The default for the <$list> widget is to set "currentTiddler", which has the advantage of also being used as the current "context" for simple {{...}} transclusion, without using the <$transclude> widget. 3) The reason the <<gettext>> macro works but <<geturl>> doesn't is because the <<gettext>> result is being rendered as content, which wikifies the <$transclude> widget that was returned. In contrast, you are trying to use the result of <<geturl>> as a *param* for the <$link> widget, which does not get wikified and thus remains literally "<$transclude .../>" Thus, to get things to work as you want: 1) eliminate the macros (not needed) 2) eliminate the use of variable="tidname" 3) use simple transclusion of fields to insert their values The following works as you want, without needing extra macros \define bookmarkstable() <table> <$list filter="[tag[Foo]]"> <tr> <td><a href={{!!url}}>URL</a></td> <td><$link>{{!!title}}</$link></td> <td>{{!!text}}</td> </tr> </$list> </table> \end Note: you don't need *any* params for the <$link> widget, since it's default is to use the current tiddler as the target. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman ELS Design Studios TiddlyTools - "Small Tools for Big Ideas!"
