Hi Mat, I'm sure this isn't what you want, but maybe this will help refine the question. If you want 3 different kinds of output, then you need 3 different macros.
\define mymacro1(input) <$list filter="$input$ +[nth[2]]">[[<$view field=title/>]]</$list> \define mymacro2(input) <$list filter="$input$ +[nth[2]]"><$view field=title /></$list> \define mymacro3(input) <$list filter="$input$ +[nth[2]]"></$list> <<mymacro1 "aa [[bb bb]] cc">> <<mymacro1 "aa bb cc">> <<mymacro2 "aa [[bb bb]] cc">> <<mymacro2 "aa bb cc">> <<mymacro3 "aa [[bb bb]] cc">> <<mymacro3 "aa bb cc">> <<mymacro "aa [[bb bb]] cc">> <<mymacro "aa bb cc">> On Friday, May 27, 2016 at 5:16:35 AM UTC-7, Mat wrote: > > <<mymacro "aa bb cc">> and <<mymacro "dd [[ee ee]] ff">> > > How do I access bb and [[bb bb]] only if I want the result to be: > > 1a) bb and ee ee > 1b) bb and ee ee > 1c) [[bb]] and [[ee ee]] > > > Basic question... but I trip on this constantly and get mixed variants > (e.g bb but [[ee ee]], or a monolithic result that includes the whole > parameter argument). > > I think a comprehensive and comparative answer+examples on this belongs in > the docs.
