Thank you for your kind replies. Both suggestions rendered brackets just
fine. As you seem to have anticipated, this immediately landed me in a
different kind of problem. I defined the following macro:
\define listDescendants(tag)
<$list filter="[tag[$tag$]tag[concepts]]">
[[<$view field="title" />]]
<$macrocall $name="listDescendants" tag=<<currentTiddler>> />
</$list>
\end
The macro works as intended. I do not understand, however, why the
following (trivial) examples will not reproduce the list returned by the
macro. I need to get this to work in order before I add filter runs. First,
<$set name="myList" value=<<listDescendants "NameOfConceptTiddler">> >
<$list filter=<<myList>> />
</$set>
returns the macro code itself, with the spaces between the tokens removed.
As for my second attempt,
<$set name="myList" value=<<listDescendants "NameOfConceptTiddler">> >
<$list filter="$(myList)$" />
</$set>
it just returns "$(myList)$".
Wrapping the calling code in a macro does not work either:
\define myMacro
<$set name="myList" value=<<listDescendants "NameOfConceptTiddler">> >
<$list filter=$(myList)$ />
</$set>
\end
<<myMacro>>
All I get is "\define myMacro $(myList)$ \end".
I am thoroughly confused. Obviously there is something about the syntax
that I have not yet grasped. Please enlighten me!
Best regards,
Linus
