Something else I didn't know you could do. :P Actually, I'd seen
that syntax in a couple of plugins but couldn't figure it out until I
read your comment here. What I wound up doing was similar:
//{{{
config.macros.characterCounter = {}
config.macros.characterCounter.handler =
function(place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramString,tiddler) {
var rowsHeight = params.length > 0 ? params[0] : "6";
var colsWidth = params.length > 1 ? params[1] : "50";
wikify("<<tiddler CharacterCounterPluginTemplate with: " + "\"" +
rowsHeight + "\"" + " " + "\"" + colsWidth + "\"" +">>",place);
}
//}}}
... but instead of making the template a variable, I made it a shadow
tiddler stored within the plugin. (That let me transclude it with the
<<tiddler>> macro into a tiddler where my <<characterCounter>> macro
is run.

Worked like a charm. I was just stubbornly trying to get all the code
into a single plugin to make it user-friendly for the
technophobic. ;)
Did you bang out that on on Pastebin just for me ... ?
