Thank you Mark S and Mark Kerrigan!
I am on macOS, so I am trying Mark Kerrigan's transclusion example.
My pilot video is at: `///Users/jwh/Movies/video.mp4`
So I created a tiddler:
!!title:
`video` (but I have also tried `video.mp4`)
!!body:
`\define videoLink()
file:///Users/jwh/Movies/$(currentTiddler)$
\end
<html>
<video controls=controls>
<source src=<<videoLink>> >
</video>
</html>`
''I assume the `$(currentTiddler)$` was literal''
!!content type:
`left blank`
''I don't understand this next instruction: "I then fill in a generic HTML5
video template, that places the path to the video in the source tag."''
*What is a "generic HTML5 video template" - is that a "Type:" that doesn't
pop up in the pick list?
*By "path to the video in the source tag" - should I create a tag pill with
the video path as its name? Put that long tagname into one of the following
tiddlers?
Then I create a tiddler title: `example.mp4`, body: `{{!!title||video}}`
Then I create another tiddler title:`play it already`, body:
`{{example.mp4}}`
I get a tantalizing little black video box that does not respond to
clicking the play button.
I feel like I am getting close
