Hi Stephan
> Why do we have double pipes for seperating the tiddler title from the
template in the transclusion rule?
Because originally I used the single pipe to separate a tooltip, copying
from the TWC image syntax which also marks a tooltip with a pipe. The idea
was to be able to apply a tooltip to an image:
{{MyImage|Another picture for you to look at}}
Then, later, I added the double pipe to separate templates. Later still, I
dropped the tooltip facility because I felt it wasn't relevant for most
transclusions.
I kept the double pipe because I thought it was much less brittle than
using a single pipe; it's tolerant of single pipes, for instance.
> Now imagine what could be possible had we a way to pass more parameters
like:
Given that the tiddler you're transcluding is a macro definition and
associated macro call, this looks a lot like a use-case for global macros.
The rough plan there is to allow macros to be included with an `\include
<tiddlertitle>` pragma; then the rest of the tiddler would be able to
access any macros defined in that tiddler.
Then there'd be a mechanism to include all tiddlers that are tagged as
global macros within the page macros tiddler.
Best wishes
