This called *transclusion* and everything after the *with:* parameter in the *tiddler* macro defines substitution variables *$1*..*$9*, which is why it helps readability to put each on its own line. As indicated in my last post, you can chain those, so that *A* transcludes *B* transcludes *ToggleText*. Whereas *both* ToggleText *and* B function as a kind of template to make things more reusable. > I don't understand how to substitute variables into a tiddler directly.

Like this in most languages: > <<tiddler SomeTiddler with: "foo" "bar" "baz">> In the above, every occasion in *SomeTiddler* of the following variables *$1*..*$3* will be replaced like so... $1 => foo $2 => bar $3 => baz Now, let's imagine we are actually using such a substitution variable in a parameter of the tiddler macro itself... title: *SomeOtherTiddler* <<tiddler SomeTiddler with: "mumble $1 gronk" "$2 zonk" "klonk">> Now, if I use the tiddler in YetAnotherTiddler to transclude *SomeOtherTiddler*, then this is what happens... title: *YetAnotherTiddler* <<tiddler SomeOtherTiddler with: "frotz" "stronck">> What is actually passed down to *SomeTiddler*, replaced and then wikified in *YetAnotherTiddler *is actually... $1 => mumble frotz gronk $2 => stronck zonk $3 => klonk Does that make sense? So, *SomeTiddler* can contain *anything*, a script, just wikitext, whatever you want it to... like *ToggleText*.
