Hi! The literal text must be in double quotes and any parameters, such as tiddler.title, must have a plus sign if between two strings of literal text, including single spaces. In your case, the literal string is after the parameter, so only the second plus is necessary. What it does is basically concatenates strings, literal and/or otherwise.
<div macro ='forEachTiddler where "tiddler.title.substring(0,context.inTiddler.title.length)==context.inTiddler.title && context.inTiddler.title.length < tiddler.title.length" write 'tiddler.title+"\"!\""'></div> The result in your case would be SomeTiddler"!". Are the quotes around the exclamation mark on purpose? If not, you need to delete both escaped quotes (\"). w On Apr 11, 7:52 am, julien23 <jbouc...@capsule-ea.fr> wrote: > Might be of any help > > http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/e028c2... > > On 10 avr, 22:38, Rolf S <rolf...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > I want to use the forEachTiddlerPlugin [1] in a template.
