That mostly worked. The only problem now is with the template tiddler I
used to create the new event tiddlers.
Here's the body of the tiddler:
\define empire_lookup()
{{EmpireEventLookupTable##$(thejointype)$}}
\end
<$set name=thejointype value={{!!jointype}}>
{{!!planet}} <<empire_lookup>> <$link to={{!!faction}}><$view
field=faction></$link>
</$set>
With planet names that contain spaces, there's no problem. With ones that
don't, the name doesn't show up as a link
My solution was to replace the {{!!planet}} part with <$link
to={{!!planet}}>{{!!planet}}</$link>. Functionally, this works, but
planets with a space in the name have the link show up as a missing tiddler
link, because it's trying to find a tiddler whose title contains square
brackets. I can click on the part that {{!!planet}} renders as and bring
up the planet tiddler, but I'd like it so it doesn't look like I have a
bunch of missing tiddlers where I do not.
