I just discovered something that was inhibiting my understanding of TW. It's probably somewhere in the docs and I either missed it or forgot it. But it might help someone else in the future.
In context of being a parameter, macros and variables behave differently from each other when enclosed in quotes. If macro parameter is set to a variable that is not surrounded by quotes, variable is evaluated as expected. (A below). If macro parameter is set to a variable that is surrounded by quotes, variable is *not* evaluated. (B & C below). If macro parameter is set to a macro, that second macro is expanded *regardless of quotes* (D, E, F below). ``` \define mac(mac_param) <$text text="$mac_param$"/> \end \define mac2(mac_param) MMM: $mac_param$ <$set name="var" value="VVV"> A: <$macrocall $name="mac" mac_param=<<var>>/><br> B: <$macrocall $name="mac" mac_param="<<var>>"/><br> C: <$macrocall $name="mac" mac_param="""<<var>>"""/><br> D: <$macrocall $name="mac" mac_param=<<mac2 "AAA">>/><br> E: <$macrocall $name="mac" mac_param="<<mac2 "AAA">>"/><br> F: <$macrocall $name="mac" mac_param="""<<mac2 "AAA">>"""/><br> </$set> ``` A: VVV B: <<var>> C: <<var>> D: MMM: AAA E: <$macrocall $name="mac" mac_param="MMM: AAA"/> F: <$text text="MMM: AAA"/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
