On further reflection, the problem of backlinks and orphans is not as important as I initially thought. Links that are automatically generated by a filter-based widget will normally always be links to *existing* tiddlers, otherwise the filter wouldn't have selected them. So these links can be filed under "things the system takes care of so you don't have to".
But it's potentially problematic that the system doesn't keep track of links within macro parameters. If TiddlerOne passes a sentence of ordinary text to a simple macro that just returns its parameter in bold with a red background, and if that sentence contains a link to TiddlerTwo, then it would be nice if TiddlerTwo recognised TiddlerOne on its info References tab. I suppose the difficulty is that the system can't easily detect whether the macro returns its parameter intact. – æ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
