You know, I'm not sure if you can call a parameterized macro from within
another macro. But you can call it from within a widget, and you can call a
macro as a widget. I put strings around the transclusions. I made a little
macro to test the calling called echo. And I simplified the code:
\define myMacro(cat1:"" cat2:"")
$cat1$$cat2$
\end
\define echo(rpt:"")
Hello? $rpt$
\end
Then I called *myMacro* from within the test macro like this:
<$macrocall $name="echo" rpt=<<myMacro "{{Value 1}}" "{{Value2}}">> />
Output:
Hello? this is value1this is value2
This worked with my test data, where one of the tiddlers has spaces in its
name.
