I'm no expert but, I think there's a reason that Jeremy chose to use a
TextReference for use by the state attribute of the $reveal widget. When I
just tried to switch one out for the $if widget, I hit a snag:
<$reveal type="match" state="someTiddler!!$switch$" text="yes">
Note that the field part of the reference is supplied as a parameter to the
outer macro wherein this line occurs. I don't see a way to directly
replace the above using the $if widget -- the following of course does not
work:
<$if value={{$:/.rgt/bk/author-data!!$switch$}} match="yes">
Do you think it possible to make TextReferences work with $if? Otherwise,
the neater and much more readable $if widget would need a needless variable
($wikify?) to prepare the transclusion value for its use by $if (I think).
Right?
Hope that made sense...
