It's probably simpler than you think, there's just currently nowhere that summarizes it in an understandable form: - [[square brackets]] for links / to refer to the name of a tiddler - <<angle brackets>> to get the value of variables or macros - {{curly braces}} to get the value of fields or tiddlers Inside a filter expression, you use just *one* of each. Anywhere else, you use two. Macros add slight additional wrinkles to the <<angle bracket syntax>>: - Inside macros, <<__angle brackets with underscores__>> and $dollar signs$ both refer to a macro parameter, but the dollar signs use text substitution (understanding when to use text substitution and when not to is the only hard part). - Inside macros, <<angle brackets>> and $(parenthesized dollar signs)$ both refer to a variable, but the dollar signs use text substitution. And last, {{{ triple curly braces }}} select one or more tiddlers using a filter, then transclude them – so you can think of it as the “super” or “extra powerful” version of normal double-brace transclusion, since it has one extra brace. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
