sorry but I still have problems. The macrocall syntax suggested by Tony and Álvaro does not work, the tiddler displays the code although with the image itself displayed in place of the image filename. I have tried replacing img=<<ximg imagename.jpg>> with img="<<ximg imagename.jpg>>" and even with the full path to the image. I think shiraz is installed correctly since the standard syntax <<image-card "ximg imagename.jpg> ... >> works fine. Is it possible that shiraz macros can't be used with MacroCall ? Or (more likely) the error remains with my incomplete understanding?
I don't know if it matters but I am using TiddlyDesktop under Linux Mint 19.3 and TiddlyWiki 5.1.22 with Shiraz 2.4.0 thanks, bye, Robin PS My registration with Talk TiddlyWiki 5 Discourse is now complete so I will continue this discussion, if necessary, over there after this post. (i had to use an alternative email address, probably some drastic blocking from my work email security settings, the Talk Discourse confirmation email never arrived, even in my spam folder) On Wednesday, 1 September 2021 at 22:01:51 UTC+10 Álvaro wrote: > I think that you don't "see" the following text before your cited text: > " *The advantages of the widget formulation are: "* > > I think it is easier to understand by looking at the two codeblocks: In > the first block 2 examples with normal syntax and In the second block 3 > examples with macro call *widget*. > > You have to use de widget.
