A variable that is defined outside a macro can be referred to within the macro using **either** $(varname)$ or <<varname>>, depending on context. The difference is that occurrences of $(varname)$ are immediately replaced with the current value of the variable, while <<varname>> is simply returned unchanged as part of the macro output. Thus these are all valid uses: \define mymacro() <$somewidget param="$(currentTiddler)$" /> \define mymacro() <$somewidget param="TEXTBEFORE $(currentTiddler)$ TEXTAFTER" /> \define mymacro() <$somewidget param=<<currentTiddler>> /> but the following is NOT (because it mixes <<...>> inside a quoted parameter value where parsing doesn't occur) \define mymacro() <$somewidget param="TEXTBEFORE <<currentTiddler>> TEXTAFTER" /> -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
