Oops, you're quite right, or rather my past self was correct: macro definitions can use spaces or commas to separate parameters. As the documentation says: "The parameter separator (sep) is any sequence of characters that does not match a param-name. Among other things, this includes commas, spaces and linefeeds": http://tiddlywiki.com/Macro%20Definition%20Syntax Best wishes Jeremy. > > > FrD > > Le lundi 28 septembre 2015 19:20:38 UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston a écrit : >> >> Hi FrD >> >> There are a couple of things going on: >> >> * Parameters in a macro definition are separated with commas.
