Macro parameters work by substitution. When the macro is invoked, all parameter references within the macro (e.g., $variablename$) are automatically replaced by their passed in values. Thus, when you invoke <<failed tiddler:"System Usage">> this line of the macro <$radio tiddler=$tiddler$ field="Status" value=$value$> $value$ </$radio> results in the following syntax <$radio tiddler=System Usage field="Status" value=failed> $value$ </$radio> The problem is that there aren't any quotes around the 'tiddler' param in the <$radio> widget, so the space in the value appears to be a delimeter, making "Usage" into a separate param which lacks the "name=" syntax, and is thus ignored. The result is as you noted: the tiddler title being applied ends with the first space, and the remainder of the title is ignored. To correct this, simply add some quotes surrounding the params in the <$radio> widget, like this: <$radio tiddler="$tiddler$" field="Status" value="$value$"> $value$ </$radio> which results in the following syntax being generated by the macro: <$radio tiddler="System Usage" field="Status" value="failed"> failed </$radio> That should do it. Let me know how it goes. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools.com - "Small Tools for Big Ideas!"
