Mario,
The reason I did not suggest that was its not backwardly compatible, since
the transclusion widget currently uses tiddler= to represent the tiddler to
be transcluded and "defaults to currentTiddler".
Jeremy,
I have played with a few alternatives like macro's to do the equivalent and
they are just not as convenient, we could say the transclusion widget
defaults to current tiddler and we can't override this with a parameter
unlike other widgets. If we had such a parameter I could set the effective
currentTiddler without needing to resort to other code, which increases the
complexity rapidly.
I know transclusion may mean something subtly different to you, but for new
and regular users it is to include the content from elsewhere. We are told
the short form `{{||template}} or {{tiddlername||template}}` but the
"widget form" is not available.
Alternatively a new widget perhaps <$template [tiddler=tiddlername]
template="templatetiddler" mode=block> when the default tiddlername is
currentTiddler. New users hear the word template a lot, but its use is only
in the short form of a transclude widget and is a parameter in other
widgets.
I will leave it to you, of course, but if you ever find yourself in that
part of the code please consider this idea.
Regards
Tony
