Hi Tony, That is great advice and I also think you might have turn on the light bulb.
I had figured out how to generate <<variableormacroresult>> used in your hint, but I didn't appreciate I could call the plantuml macro with the basic macro call syntax. Makes sense now, but I didn't *really* understand that principle or grasp its flexibility. I'll give it another go tonight. I'm replying now mostly to provide the plantuml plugin links. I'm becoming a fan of plantuml, which is surprising to me since I am a professional visual programmer <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language>. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language] Tobias Beer's TW5 plugin <https://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#plantuml> [https://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#plantuml] and anibalch's TWc plugin <https://github.com/anibalch/tiddlywiki-plantuml>.
