Hi Mohammad Thanks that’s great.
I think the button is actually a red herring, and you can see the same behaviour with this simplified version: \define utility(a, b) This is //$a$// and ''$b$''. \define test(tidName, v1, v2) <$wikify name="newText" text="""<$macrocall $name="utility" a=<<__v1__>> b=<<__v2__>> />"""> <$text text=<<newText>> /> </$wikify> \end <<test "myTiddler" italic bold>> You don’t actually need the wikify widget here; the trick is to use macro parameter textual substitution: \define utility(a, b) This is //$a$// and ''$b$''. \define test(a,b) <$set name="newText" value=<<utility a:"""$a$""" b:"""$b$""">>> <$text text=<<newText>> /> </$set> \end <<test "myTiddler" italic bold>> Using textual substitution isn’t ideal because of the issues with quoting (e.g. the example above will fail if the parameter values started with three double quotes). An alternate solution that might be useful would be an alternate mode to the <$macrocall> widget whereby it makes the result of calling the macro available as a variable, instead of directly rendering it.
