Ok Tobias, I think you want to point out that the context / scope of the <<currentTiddler>> Variable changes, if you show the tiddler in the sidebar. This was not my assumption. I assumed that the context of the Variable is the tiddler and the tiddler is only presented in another "view" - I mean the tiddler just got a tag ($:/tags/SideBar), nothing more. But as I understand you right the variable changes the scope from the tiddler to the sidebar - which is unexpected to me.
So - QUESTION - there is really no other way than 1. Call the macro with an explicit tiddler title as paramter like <<toctoc "Chapter 12">> to \define toctoc(tiddler:<<currentTiddler>>) """ <div class="tc-table-of-contents"> <$macrocall $name="toc-selective-expandable" tag=$tiddler$/> </div> """ \end OR 2. Do it the way I have done it before without explicit tiddler naming, but don't put the macro-calling-tiddler itself to the sidebar but another tiddler with a transclusion of the macro-calling-tiddler inside. Then it works, I have tried. ??? QUESTION END. For me both alternatives are not really "beautiful" - but ok, they work. Clarification would be nice, especially about the scope, also the behavior in other contexts. I did not find really detailed information about that here http://tiddlywiki.com/#currentTiddler%20Variable:%5B%5BcurrentTiddler%20Variable%5D%5D%20%5B%5BMacro%20Definitions%20in%20WikiText%5D%5D%20%5B%5BMacro%20Definition%20Syntax%5D%5D%20Variables%20%5B%5BVariables%20in%20WikiText%5D%5D%20%5B%5BMacro%20Calls%20in%20WikiText%5D%5D which were matching my usecase. Tobias, thanks for pushing me into the right direction! Am Mittwoch, 7.
