Those macros are "text substitutions". Everything between the "define - end" is wikitext, which is powerful but still limited, compared to javascript. javascript macros can use all the possibilities of javascript, but are still limited to return text. So they work exactly the same way as wiki-text macros. ... macros are not able to "refresh" the rendered output, like widgets. Therefore they are simpler to use and define but you still have to use a developer setting. > Though at this point I should probably study the code a lot more so I know > what I'm talking about.

But it turns out, that tw wikitext is very powerful, so they are only used for some core stuff. hope that helps mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
