Perhaps in a related solution I created a snapshot tool. It converts what a tiddler displays into html and saves it in another tiddler, then displays the snap shot in the original tiddler.
The reason was to capture content at a point in time, and to save processing by not regenerating the tiddler until a refresh is requested. This snapshot can be dragged to any wiki and will; look the same, because the data and macros in the original where captured in the snapshot as fixed html. If you are using special CSS you may need to incorporate that with the snapshot. I mention this because you could design your own snapshot method to include what you want in it, ie run macros and produce results, and capture the results. The quick hack is to install the Internals core plugin, then use the preview in a tiddler editor, and look at the RAW HTML preview, select and copy the actual html, and paste this html into Another tiddler.
