Thanks Evan... I did wonder about that, too. So, do you think this should
work? (I'm trying to keep to a minimum the alien code you need to digest :)
Original:
<$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<get-authornote-state $notetype$>>
text="show">
$if:
<$if not value={{<<get-note-state $notetype$>>}} match="show">
\define get-note-state()
$:/temp/state/$(currentTiddler)$-$(_notetype)$-$(unique)$
LOL... I think I *am* going to need another var :)
