Hi guys,

I know this has been answered before, but I can't find it again.
Suppose I want to create a newTiddler button, with a text parameter, so that
every new Tiddler comes with text inside (like a hint, guidelines, or
whatever).
The following does not work, because the syntax is not compatible with
inserting << or >> in the line, of course :
<<newTiddler text:"<<tiddler Hints>>">>

What is the appropriate syntax to escape the "inside" << and >> ?

Thanks,
Nicolas.

Normally you'd escape the the nested chevrons by adding a backslash:
     <<newTiddler text:"<<tiddler Hints>\>">>
However, that won't work here, because it inserts a literal backslash
into the resulting tiddler - so let's try it with evaluated parameters:
     <<newTiddler text:{{"<<tiddler Hints>" + ">"}}>>

HTH.

-- F.

Using \ *inside* the evaluated parameter also works:

      <<newTiddler text:{{"<<tiddler Hints>\>"}}>>

-e

Aah, I knew I had seen it somewhere, with escaped symbol like "\", but I
couldn't remember the evaluated parameter with {{ and }}

Thanks a lot guys !
Nicolas.
