If you have 10 tiddlers open, how would something in the sidebar know which one is "the" tiddler you want?
If you want the TOC in every tiddler, you can add it as part of the view template. If you want the TOC in certain tiddlers (tagged a certain way, perhaps) you can add it wrapped in a context <$list> so it only appears when wanted. If you actually want the TOC in the sidebar, then maybe (not sure on this point) you could have a button in your tiddlers that you click and which sets a configuration tiddler which the macro could use to know which one you want to currently use. -- Mark On Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at 2:25:41 PM UTC-7, NT wrote: > > 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.
