Hi Jean-Pierre > You made an error in your macro, Jeremy. You should have used $arg$ instead > of <arg>.
It's actually not an error: it's an alternative way to access the parameters of macros. It avoids the problem that otherwise the code would fail with a tiddler title containing a closing square bracket. There are docs here under "Parameters as Variables <<__...__>>": https://tiddlywiki.com/#Macro%20Definitions%20in%20WikiText > But it is false nonetheless because it would, for example, cut word "totem" > if asked for word "to". My regular expression does not do that thanks to the > \b at both ends of the arguments. Yes, I did that quickly, but indeed I think that splitregexp would be needed to make it practical, both to resolve the word boundary issue and the case sensitivity issue.
