I have just discovered a bug in a tiddler.
I misspelled a macro name and didn't notice it – this is actually a common error of mine. In all programming languages I tend to see what I hoped to see rather than what is there. I'm pretty bad at spelling. Mispellling a macro name is a serious error so I want the system to shout out loudly when this happens. What happens in TW is the expansion of (say) <<badname args>> causes a silent error if baname does not exit. ie there is no replacement text. I'd like the replacement text to be Missing macro badname -- fatal error in tiddler Is this something I can easily fix???? I HATE silent errors in programming languages - all programming and run-time errors should cause a huge error message and execution should stop immediately. The error message is so the programmer can fix the error. Stopping immediately is to avoid further damage. I given talks about the evils of silent errors. NaN <http://127.0.0.1:8080/#NaN> in JS for example is causes errors which are terribly difficult to find. I think any error that can be detected should result in a noisy error.
