In deed confusing <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywikidev/1AHFjo2_aI0>, and this has tripped me several times.
I came up with a small trick for NON-BRACKETED arguments: \define test(arg) <$set name=answer filter=" $arg$" value="full" emptyValue="empty" > ans:<<answer>> </$set> \end NOTE the space character in the filter!!!! I marked it yellow here just so you see it. And again, no brackets. Putting in filter="[[$arg$]]" always returns "full". ATM its bedtime so I won't hypothesize on why this works. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
