Hi Mark,
that works, thank you so much for this I would never have come to this by
myself.
However my guts hurt when I see a macro defined inside a tiddler. I know
that this is the way TW works but whenever I develop software I work very
hard to separate concerns as much as possible so mashing everything
together is a tough pill :)
Nevertheless this solves my problem so thanks again.
Cheers,
Tristan
