Hi Henry I think that there are two problems here:
* The first is that transcluding a tiddler doesn't make macros defined in that tiddler available in the calling tiddler. You can instead either define it as a global macro by tagging it with $:/tags/Macro or you can use the <$importvariable> widget directly to import macro definitions from a tiddler * The second problem is that you don't need brackets when calling a macro. Try this: <<TaskListMacro ListTitle:"Not Started">> Best wishes Jeremy.
