Put quotes around $title$, like this: <$set name="tit" value="$title$"> the $param$ syntax is a *lexical subtitution* done upon entry to the macro. Thus, if you pass in a parameter value containing spaces (e.g., "two words"), then the substitution, without the surrounding quotes, would be: <$set name="tit" value=two words> resulting in a value of tit="two", with "words" being ignored, rather than resulting in tit="two words" > <$set name="myTid" filter='[!is[system]regexp:<tit>]'> > <$button> > <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-modal" *$param=<<myTid>>*/> > <<myTid>> > </$button> > </$set> > </$set> > \end > enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools.com: "Small Tools for Big Ideas" (tm) InsideTiddlyWiki: The Missing Manuals -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
