Thanks *@Eric* and *@Evolena*, it's always great to get multiple answers showing different ways of achieving something, it gives me more opportunity to learn.
Speaking of which, I just wanted to explain myself a bit, and why I'm asking all these strange questions. I'm really struggling to understand the official TW5 documentation. It seems to be written from the perspective of a developer, rather than an end-user. No disrespect to those who have contributed to the current official TW5 documentation, and I'm sure it works fine for many/most end-users who begin using TW5 from a more knowledgeable position than I have. I'm just finding the learning curve very steep, coming from MediaWiki, where much of the coding is cloaked in a wikitext language that hides a lot more of the underlying HTML and Javascript than TW does. I am finding, however, that practical examples, with real-life data, like the ones in this discussion thread, are really helping me to understand how to do things the TiddlyWiki way. I may ask a lot of dumb questions at first, and rely on you experienced TW users to turn my pathetic attempts at writing code into something that TW understands. But I want to assure you all that the solutions you give me are not just copy/pasted into my TW instance and forgotten about. I look carefully at each one, and try to work out how you came to the solution, comparing it to the official TW documentation, so that (hopefully) the documentation will make more sense to me. On that note, I tried both of your solutions, and both worked fine, but I had to change the tiddler variable to *defn* in *Evolena's*. Your solution made use of the *tooltip* attribute of the LinkWidget, which resulted in a single dotted underline under the link, while *Eric's* solution gave a double underline. Not sure what the difference is. Eric's was the first macro I've used in a new tiddler in my TW implementation. I copied the macro definition to the very top of the tiddler, and the call to the macro lower down in the body text of the same tiddler. I guess there must be some way to make this macro accessible globally within my wiki, by moving the macro definition into a new tiddler named something like $:/_Macros/defn-link or something. Is that all I'd need to do to make it globally accessible to other tiddlers within my wiki? Thanks again both of you for this valuable learning experience. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
