Hi JL, Thanks for the pointer. To capture more aliases, I had set it up to being case-insensitive to the macro input. As you noticed, this requires the piped aliases to be lowercase letters only. I have added that bit of information to the documentation. http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#alink

I see, thanks for that. I did read that it was case-insensitive, but I interpreted that as meaning it would pick up CamelCase, camelcase or cAMelCASe. Anyway, cheers, all working now JL On Tuesday, 15 September 2015 16:58:55 UTC+7, Tobias Beer wrote: Hi JL, > > Thanks for the pointer. To

Hi Tobias, thanks for the macro — I’m finding that when the alias in the piped field is CamelCase, <> fails, but <> works. I'm on version 5.1.9 Cheers, JL On Tuesday, 13 January 2015 16:26:59 UTC+7, Tobias Beer wrote: Hi f10, > > >> Never mind, I figured it out! >> >> I apologize if

Hi f10, Never mind, I figured it out! I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere in this thread, but does this allow the use of multiple-word aliases? For example: |first|first tiddler|the first tiddler| If so, is there a certain way I should be formatting the code to accomplish

Further to my previous comment, I've just discovered that `[backlinks[]]` and `[all[orphans]]` don't take account of most automated links. For instance, if I have a tiddler whose text is my-macro [[Target]] then the Target tiddler has an empty References list and shows up on the Orphans

Hi Tobias, Your alink macro would be really handy for use in the TiddlyWiki documentation. It would significantly reduce the file size, because we have lots of links of the form `[[…|…]]` (and we will be acquiring more over time). The main drawback is that it's not understood by important

Hi Astrid, The regexp doesn't check for a trailing pipe sign, so `a: tab` will match `|table`. That's correct. Fixed. Best wishes, Tobias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Hi Astrid, While it's possible to use double square brackets to delimit a macro parameter, these are merely an alternative for quotes. They have no link semantics. Not intrinsically, that is true... as parameters they're just another way to enclose string literals. However, in general,

Hi Tobias, that looks like poor use of double square brackets to me... Let me suggest a less abstract example, then. Your tb5 site offers a macro for colouring text http://tb5.tiddlyspot.com/#Colored%20Text. One can easily imagine passing a whole sentence, e.g. a warning message, to this

On further reflection, the problem of backlinks and orphans is not as important as I initially thought. Links that are automatically generated by a filter-based widget will normally always be links to *existing* tiddlers, otherwise the filter wouldn't have selected them. So these links can be

But it's potentially problematic that the system doesn't keep track of links within macro parameters. If TiddlerOne passes a sentence of ordinary text to a simple macro that just returns its parameter in bold with a red background, and if that sentence contains a link to TiddlerTwo, then
