Aaaah, this is maddening. It's so close. Suppose I create a tiddler with
the fields:
x = mike
email = {{!!x}}
then, amazingly,
{{!!email}} displays "mike"
and, weirdly,
<a href={{!!emai}}>link</a> creates a link to "{{!!x}}". hmm.
even weirder, changing the email field to be
email = mailto:{{!!x}}
then
{{!!email}} displays "mailto:{{!!x}}";
and, weirdly,
<a href={{!!email}}>link</a> creates a link to "mailto:{{!!x}}";.
There is some crazy stuff going on between the TW parser and the rendering
engine that I'm not following.
