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?
