In playing about with listing tiddlers I discovered that passing a value
like "~WikiLink" to <$wikify> resulted in it being rendered as a wikilink
despite the tilde. However, adding a <$text> widget caused <$wikify> to
behave as I expected.
Here is an example:
<$set name="testVar" value="WikiLink ~NoWikiLink">
<!-- I expect <$wikify> to honour the tilde, but it does not -->
<$wikify name="testOutput1" text=<<testVar>> output="html">
<<testOutput1>>
</$wikify>
<!-- I expect <$text> to have no effect, but it results in correct
behaviour from <$wikify> -->
<$wikify name="testOutput2" text="<$text text=<<testVar>>/>"
output="html">
<<testOutput2>>
</$wikify>
</$set>
This resulted in the following output:
WikiLink <http://localhost:10744/#WikiLink> NoWikiLink
<http://localhost:10744/#NoWikiLink>
<http://localhost:10744/#WikiLink>
WikiLink <http://localhost:10744/#WikiLink> NoWikiLink
I don't understand why the <$wikify> widget does not honour the tilde.
I don't understand why adding a <$text> widget causes the <$wikify> widget
to behave as expected.
I'm sure this makes sense to someone with intimate knowledge of how these
widgets operate, but it is counterintuitive to newbies who expect <$wikify>
to render wikitext, and <$text> to do the opposite, as described in
TextWidget <https://tiddlywiki.com/#TextWidget> help.
Is there a better solution than the <$text> one I stumbled across?
