With my experiments I found out, that the TW5 macro parameter syntax is much more consistent than those for TWc macros. So I'd highly recomend to prefer consistency over compatibility. ... which on the other hand will result in a lot of "meehh - I need to change my 25 year old texts :/" We did discuss "system macros" a little bit in the TiddlyWiki Hangout 36. See minute 11-24 (link starts at min 11) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HVM4MqxuOHk#t=690 I did some experiments with macros, that have similar syntax to TWc macros and similar or (much) more possibilities. ... I didn't release the stuff, because imo it was to early. Also the TW5 filters where quite in flux in February and I didn't want to update the stuff every 2 weeks ;) Also my macros are js-macros, since they are global by default. Now we have global tw-syntax-macros which may be preferable .. but imo they are a little bit too easy to change for users. So may be worth a bit more discussion at github or the dev channel :) > Then there's a few common TW5 idioms that should be encapsulated into > macros.
