Some examples of usage:
- you have a piece of text that is laborious to write, but that you have to use at several places. For example, in French we nee unbreakable spaces before ":", ";" or "?", but unbreakable space is laborious to write, so I can define a macro that replaces <<?>> by ? (and I find the first more lisible than the second). - you have a sentence that is almost always the same, except some words, you can use a macro with a parameter. This parameter can be for example the value of a field of the current tiddler. - the replacement can be a lot more important. In the TW5.com interface, tabs and the table of content are wikitext macros! (and they are very worth learning how they work) - a macro can be used as a widget parameter value. It can be useful if this value needs itself a parameter, or if you need to concatene some pieces of text An important thing to know about macro (and it is said in the Macro's concept tiddler) is that the content of a macro is not wikified before its rendering, when it is called. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
