I figured out this list of things to remember about TW variables for use in macros:
variable conventions in a macro - $someword$ macro variable provided by *parameter* of the remote macro call - <<someword>>, from: <$set name="someword" value="some value"><– variable set *inside* the macro - $(currentTiddler)$ higher order (global?) variable you can use inside a macro - <<currentTiddler>> lower order macro - gives the name of current tiddler, but doesn't go past a single nesting level (as opposed to the example above) hopefully those are accurate. I'll have to add the macrocall usage to this now :) I've just recently figured out that you can set macro definitions for use later in the same tiddler (olmost as a lengthy variable), but not used elsewhere because you don't tag it with $:/tags/macro -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
