Hi Tobias, Your alink macro would be really handy for use in the TiddlyWiki documentation. It would significantly reduce the file size, because we have lots of links of the form `[[…|…]]` (and we will be acquiring more over time).
The main drawback is that it's not understood by important filters such as `[backlinks[]]` and `[all[orphans]]`, which means that the sidebar Orphans tab can show false positives and the info References tab can incorrectly show nothing. A comment about the implementation: The regexp doesn't check for a trailing pipe sign, so `<<a: tab>>` will match `|table`. The fact that your example shows `|alias|aliases` suggests this isn't what you intended. It would be problematic if one tiddler had an alias of `|tab` and another had an alias of `|table` – it wouldn't be clear which one `<<a: tab>>` (or indeed `<<a: ta>>`) would link to. – æ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
