Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what had broken with one of my projects but didn't have the time to troubleshoot. This note saved me a great deal of head-scratching.
In this case, Mervin was using it in the context of a macro call. I can see how this can be worked around using <$macrocall name=<<variable>>/> in place of the <<>> syntax. However, in my case, I was using it in a transclusion template like {{$(variable)$||some_custom_tag_pill_tiddler}}. In looking at the instructions for the full TranscludeWidget, I can do <$transclude tiddler=<<variable>> field="title"/> but is there a way to specify the template? I was able to workaround things by making a macro like you indicated containing the above {{||}} transclusion template but am I missing something in that the full transcludeWidget is not able to use a template tiddler? I did try adding a "template=" section but it didn't work. /Mike On Wednesday, August 14, 2019 at 6:00:08 AM UTC-3, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Mervin > > I’m not sure without seeing more context but I think the problem may be > this fix from v5.1.18: > > https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3333 > > Previously, `$(variable)$` substitutions were performed regardless of how > the macro was defined (even if it was actually defined with the set > widget).
