Description It is quite common when developing a macro to do a specific task, it needs some auxiliary macros. For example I wrote a macro *mySearch* to do search in tiddlers text field which itself call another macro to show the result *showResult *in some specific format. Users only needs to call *mySearch* and not *showResult*.
These global macros (tagged with $:/tags/Macro) are anywhere available and make the whole namespace messy. Proposal Like other programming language we can have sub macro or private members. For example TW core can prevent access to all macros in a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Macro if their name meet some certian criteria for example: __NANE__ or __::NAME Benefits A tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Macro with many macro variables in it acts like a small namespace. Only certain macro can be called (are global) and other follow the above rule only accessible from inside that tiddler. Tiddlywiki will remain tidy, Global vars will not overwrite each other, ... --Mohammad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
