Hi all,

I've used TW on and off for a few years now. Fairly new to tooling around 
in the backend, however.

My question is this:

I'm trying to make a custom new journal button. I can't seem to figure out 
how to pass a tiddler name containing a space in the macro.

For example: Take the core new-journal button macro, which gets the journal 
tags from $:/config/NewJournal/Tags. So I want to put a tag in there that 
contains a space, as opposed to a one-word tag like "Journal". Anything I 
put there, the macro will automatically interpret the spaces as delineating 
a separate tag. I've tried putting it in quotes ("a tag"), single quotes 
('a tag'), and triple quotes ("""a tag"""). The macro never makes a tag 
with a space, instead making separate tags, even with quotation marks 
hanging off them.

Can anyone help with this? I've searched a lot, both here and in the 
official documentation. Unfortunately I don't find the TW documentation to 
be especially helpful -- it doesn't go deep enough into the myriad special 
formatting rules and tons of options I seemingly have to just know... For 
example: did you know that the list macro requires a trailing carriage 
return to put newlines in between each list item? That's something totally 
arcane I had to figure out on my own, that is nowhere to be found in the 
official documentation! Very weird.

Anyways, thanks in advance to anyone nice enough to give me the time of day!
