Here's my setup: I have some tiddlers that describe an event in which a planet, in some way, joins an interstellar power. Said tiddlers have a user-friendly description, along with three fields: - jointype: describes the method by which a planet joined an empire. Examples include join, conquer, colonize. - planet: the tiddler of the associated planet. [[Earth]], for example. - year: the year it happened. - faction: the power that now controls the planet.
I also have a tiddler called EmpireEventLookupTable, which is a dicitonary tiddler with the following information: - join: joined the - conquer: was conquered by the - colonize: was colonized by the The idea behind this tiddler is to use it to present information in a more user-friendly manner. Here's where I really use the stuff. I'm trying to collect information about which planets joined which empires and when. I can limit the information down to specific empires, but haven't implemented that yet. Here's what I want to do: - In 2161, Earth joined the United Federation of Planets - In 2192, Regreea was conquered by the Nausicaan Empire - In 1961, Revanix II was conquered by the Interstellar Condordium - etc. Here's what I do have: \define empire_lookup(jointype) {{EmpireEventLookupTable##$jointype$}} \end <$list filter=""> * In {{!!year}}, {{!!planet}} <<empire_lookup {{!!jointype}}>> {{!!faction}} </$list> This is the result: - In 2161, Earth {{EmpireEventLookupTable##join}} United Federation of Planets - In 2192, Regreea {{EmpireEventLookupTable##conquer}} Nausicaan Empire - etc. In the output, the EmpireEventLookupTable in the result is a link to the tiddler, whereas join, conquer, etc is just appearing as plain text. I think I'm really close to solving this, but I'm not sure how to solve this hiccup. Anyone know what I should do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
