Hi Mohammad You can use the existing import pragma to bring in macro definitions from other tiddlers without cluttering the global name space. For example, you might have a global macro defined in a tiddler tagged $:/tags/Macro, and then put your local macros into tiddlers just tagged $:/tags/MyPublisher/MyPlugin/LocalMacros. Then, at the top of your global macro you’d bring in those local macros with:
\import [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/MyPublisher/MyPlugin/LocalMacros]!has[draft.of]] \define myPublicMacro() … Best wishes Jeremy > On 30 Aug 2019, at 05:47, Mohammad <[email protected]> wrote: > > Description > It is quite common when developing a macro to do a specific task, it needs > some auxiliary macros.
