Thanks Diego,
Yes I would use Evans formula but as I am building a plugin I am trying to
avoid dependencies.
I just solved it
\define infodesc(tiddlername)
<$button tooltip={{$tiddlername$!!description}} class="tc-btn-invisible
tc-tiddlylink" >
{{$:/core/images/info-button}} </$button>
\end
<<infodesc tiddlername>>
Thanks
Tony
