Thank you to both of you for your explanation. The information on the
system tag was very helpful.
@Soren: you write tgis in your textbook:
Here are some things that *change the current tiddler*:
- Transcluding another tiddler with the {{curly braces}} syntax.
- Using a $list widget to enumerate the outputs of a filter.
- Directly setting currentTiddler with a $set or $vars widget.
Does it mean that you can change the content of a var or that you stack up
vars, getting only the values from the top var?
Could it be used to have some kind of recursion in a safe way? I was
thinking of vars as immutable stuff because of the syntax that declare them
but no syntax to alter them otherwise.
And finnally, in a number of my templates, the template content is only
<<myMacro>>. It seems a bit out of touch with what your telling me with
what template are. In effect, myMacro is only used there. Would it b a
better idea to ditch the macro and have the macro body directly into the
template text? (yes, myMacro has no params.)
regards,
