Hi mark,
this is a typical tw5 2'gotcha'
<$set name="text2convert" value=<<textin2>> >
the macro only does basic text substitution.
You need to use this pattern
<$set name="text2convert" value={{$x$}} >
and so must put your code inside a macro
\define amacro(x)
<$set name="name_of_tiddler" value=$x$>
<$set name="text2convert" value={{$x$}} >
<$button>
<$action-setfield
$tiddler=<<convertto>>
text=<<html2tw>> />
<$action-navigate $to=<<convertto>>/>
Convert Tiddler Text
</$button>
\end
<$macrocall $name="amacro" tname={{$:/html2tw/title}}/>
all the best
BJ
