Incrementally and iteratively, getting to Railroad Diagram ZEN.
A barebones-beginning railroad diagram editor tagged as
$:/tags/ViewTemplate, with one edit text field to enter the railroad
diagram text, and the other edit field to describe the bits in the diagram.
The macros to transclude the d
The only way for me to remember that "=" prefix, I think, is by applying it
often.
Taking Brian's approach to simplify things by dumping addsuffix and
addprefix:
```
<$railroad text={{{
=[["]] =[] =[["]]
=[["("]]
=[[<"numValue1">]]
=[[","]]
=[[<"numValue2">]]
=[[")"]]
+[join[]]
}}}>
```

Delayed reaction:
I do very much like this, though:
```
[["]] [] =[["]]
```
I rarely run into de-duplication issues, so I keep forgetting about that
"x-nay de-duplication, eh?" prefix.
I've got to figure out a way to remember that.

Looking back at my OP, it became a game of Where's Waldo because of a
mismatch between the number of lines in the macrocall and number of nodes
in the railroad diagram.
The fix:
```
!! Syntax
<$railroad text={{{
[addprefix["]addsuffix["]]
[["("]]
[[<"numValue1">]]
[[","]]
[[<"numValue2">]]
[["
Definitely more concise with fewer square brackets going on.
My challenge is it makes it harder to make a one-to-one relationship
between the "bubbles" in the diagram and the pieces related to the
bubbles. Kind of like I'm playing a game of "Where's Waldo".
But that's part and parcel of my co

Here is one I find simpler (YMMV):
```
<$railroad text={{{
[["]addsuffixaddsuffix["]]
[["(" <"numValue1"> "," <"numValue2">
I'm documenting two BASIC Anywhere Machine functions: MIN and MAX .
I'm using the railroad plugin to describe syntax.
MIN and MAX having identical syntax (and I've got many other cases like
this), I wanted to define the railroad diagram once for both the MIN and
MAX tiddlers.
I created a templ
