I see - I'm using the node.js server -- the tiddler name has some embedded
blanks
I assume the "[[" ..."]]" are added since the name contains blanks and
follows the usual convention for
placing links with blanks inside brackets.
One thing I hadn't noticed was that blanks in titles get squashed in the
display but not when editing
So if you create two tiddlers called "My Page" and "My Page" (with two
blanks) both appear
identical when display - they both look the same in the recent tab - but
they are different.
I guess the rule is "beware of double blanks in titles"

I am - slowly digging deeper.
So am I right in thinking that
<$button actions={{Tiddler}} ..>...
The documentation said action is a string containing actionwidgets
So {{Tiddler}} must mean "the string formed from the contents of Tiddler"
I suppose
I think I'm ok with this now.
Thanks
