BJ: I should note that while FlexiType looks like what I need, your example shows a case where standard TiddlyWiki functionality actually works! Try the code below in your wiki:
<svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 1000 300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; style="background:white;"> <defs> <path id="MyPath" d={{AtrStr!!path}}/> </defs> <use xlink:href="#MyPath" fill="none" stroke="#ddd"/>plain <text font-family="'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif" font-size="42.5"> <textPath xlink:href="#MyPath"> ====To The Top=====on the bottom======================= </textPath> </text> </svg> It's quite possible to *transclude* into attributes with TW5 -- it's just that such transclusions are never wikified.
