The pseudocode I mentioned is nowhere near as powerful. And really, my proposal is only a "nice to have" kinda thing. To a coder (cough) it would "feel right" (well, it does to this coder, anyway ;))

But I wasn't proposing deprecation of the old method, more an "as well as". And it's similar to your tagging approach - if the pre-* exists, call it, otherwise do nothing. And of course, when I say "exists", it can exist anywhere in the current scope, not necessarily in the same tiddler body (much like we approach macros like currentTiddler, for example). And Tony, remember how your tagging method works - the extension mechanism you've provided would pull in code from anywhere given a tag match. > > You are both already talking about fundamental changes to the button > widget so it seems revisiting this is almost necessary anyway. > Always.
