Hi Mans
1. create a new tiddler and name this 'male'
2. create a new tiddler and name this 'female'
3. set the type of both of these tiddlers to 'data dictionary'
4. in the text field of 'male' make entries like:
gender1:him
gender2:Him
gender3:Mr
... and so on
5. in the text field of 'female' make entries like:
gender1:her
gender2:Her
gender3:Mrs
... and so on
6. when you want 'him' -- you can use the text reference {{male##gender1}}
... and so on
7. when you want 'her' -- you can use the text reference
{{female##gender1}} ... and so on
I think in your use case you would want a variable as the name of the data
tiddler -- so references might look something like {{$gender$##gender1}},
where the variable takes the value 'male' or 'female' as appropriate. I
think you'll need a macro call to insert the variable before using the
text-reference as the syntax I've used above won't work (this was for
illustration only.)
regards
