Hi *@Tobi*, In the official docs: *"make a macro available to all tiddlers"* vs my: *"global macro"*, and I'm the one complaining that the current documentation is too developer-centric?! Oh gosh, what a dunderhead I must seem. I guess that's why I couldn't find it when searching for "global macro" in the TW5 docs. My bad. I didn't really understand the concept of System Tags <http://tiddlywiki.com/#SystemTags> until now, too, even though I used $:/tags/SideBar in the TOC, and $:/tags/Stylesheet in the example you helped me with earlier. But I see how they work now. Thanks.
Anyway, so I just need to tag my $:/_Macros/defn-link macro with the $:/tags/Macro tag, then I can call it from any tiddler in my wiki using *Eric's* example, renamed to <<defn-link "tiddler-name">> as per my new macro, right? Extending this further, how would I (optionally) convert the resulting link to lowercase characters? I often use [[open source|Open Source]] notation within my regular links, so that the displayed text is lowercase, but the link to the tiddler itself is passed as uppercase. The macro I'm now using returns the tiddler name as it is, which I default to naming them all uppercase. However, in the body text I want them to appear as lowercase. I'd like this to become a toggleable option in the macro, such as... <<defn-link "tiddler-name" case="lower">> ...and defaulting to whatever the tiddler title is if *case* isn't specified in the macro call. Thanks again for the help, Hegart.
