Hello all, I'm having trouble understanding why a simple macro I wrote doesn't work properly:
``` \define todoLink(url, name:"Link") <a href="$url$" class="tc-tiddlylink-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$name$</a> \end ``` If I use `<<todoLink http://foo.org bar>>` to call my shiny new macro, the first parameter seems to be completely ignored: `<a href="bar" class="tc-tiddlylink-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Link</a>` On the other hand, if I use the `<$macrocall>` syntax, like `<$macrocall $name="todoLink" url="http://foo.org"; name="bar"/>`, I get the expected behavior. <a href="http://foo.org"; class="tc-tiddlylink-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bar</a> Ultimately, I'll be using this macro in tiddlers with a `url` field, so I _think I'll have to use the `<$macrocall>` syntax. But I feel like this behavior will bite me in the future. Why does first method of calling the macro produce incorrect output, and why does the second work? I can make the first method work by putting the URL in quotes, but I would like to avoid that in general because it's more typing :): `<<todoLink "http://foo.org"; bar>>`. Why are the quotes required? I thought macro expansion substituted text without treating the macro inputs as WikiText? My browser is Opera 78.0.4093.184 on Windows 10, and my TiddlyWiki version is 5.1.21.
