The $set widget only *stores* the value specified, it doesn't know how to assemble values from individual parts. That's what macros are for: assembling and returning compound text strings. To accomplish your goal, you can define a macro to concatenate the current tiddler title to the end of the string, and then assign the result using the $set widget. Something like this: \define makeurl(u) $u$$currentTiddler$ <$set name="url" value=<<makeurl "http://foo.com/#:";>>> ... </$set> -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
