Hi Mark, Thank you. This what I am looking for. One final question, is there a way to have my input to $path$ be the field of a tiddler i.e. title or else a user-defined field, but the actual path itself (another user-defined field) populates?
Again, I really appreciate the help. I'm still getting the hang of this, Jack On Sunday, 6 January 2019 21:14:24 UTC+1, Mark S. wrote: > > Untested, but this should work (you may need to tweak the path, etc) > > \define pdflink(name path page) [ext[$name$|files/$path$.pdf#page=$page$]] > > Good luck > -- Mark > > On Friday, January 4, 2019 at 4:51:00 AM UTC-8, Jack Stephan wrote: >> >> Hello, thanks in advance for any help.
