Joe,
They say option A is Preferred and Option B deprecated, which may suit you,
but perhaps only if you simplify the content of {{tiddler}}
However I think you you can write
\define macroname()
<$action..
<$action..
<$action..
\end
<$button actions=<<macroname>> > Text </$button>
So in your example yes "{{Tiddler}} must mean "the string formed from the
contents of Tiddler"
I have even made macros containing the field=value pairs
eg
\define new-tiddler-fields()
fieldname1=value
fieldname2=value
...
\end
Regards
Tony
