Changing the tag-pill output will, of necessity, require modifying the macro. However, you can *define a local variant of the tag-pill-inner() macro code*, rather than changing the core definition. My TiddlyTools TagCloud is an example of a modified tag macro: http://tiddlytools.com/filtergenerators.html#TiddlyTools%2FFilterGenerators%2FTagCloud In this code, I add a "tag count" to the tag-pill display. I did this by first *copying the tag-pill-inner() definition from $:/core/macros/tag*, and then adding display of the $(count)$ variable, the value of which was set by my code, before invoking the <<tag>> macro entrypoint. Here's my customized version of tag-pill-inner() \define tag-pill-inner(tag,icon,colour,fallbackTarget,colourA,colourB,element-tag,element-attributes,actions) <$vars foregroundColor=<<contrastcolour target:"""$colour$""" fallbackTarget:"""$fallbackTarget$""" colourA:"""$colourA$""" colourB:"""$colourB$""">> backgroundColor="""$colour$"""> <$element-tag$ $element-attributes$ class="tc-tag-label tc-btn-invisible" style=<<tag-pill-styles>>> $actions$<$transclude tiddler="""$icon$"""/> <$view tiddler=<<__tag__>> field="title" format="text" /> *($(count)$)* </$element-tag$> </$vars> \end For your example -- using an alternative label instead of the tag name ---, you could do something similar, by *replacing* the part of tag-pill-inner() code that displays the icon and tag name, like this: \define tag-pill-inner(tag,icon,colour,fallbackTarget,colourA,colourB,element-tag,element-attributes,actions) <$vars foregroundColor=<<contrastcolour target:"""$colour$""" fallbackTarget:"""$fallbackTarget$""" colourA:"""$colourA$""" colourB:"""$colourB$""">> backgroundColor="""$colour$"""> <$element-tag$ $element-attributes$ class="tc-tag-label tc-btn-invisible" style=<<tag-pill-styles>>> $actions$*<$text text="""$(label)$"""/>* </$element-tag$> </$vars> \end Then, let's suppose you want to *show the tag's caption text as the label*...you would invoke the <<tag>> macro like this: <$vars label={{!!caption}}><<tag>></$vars> or, if you want to use some specific literal text: <$vars label="argle bargle"><<tag>></$vars> Note that the <<tag>> macro relies upon the value of <<currentTiddler>> to determine which tag is being rendered. enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
