[TW5] How transclusion works?

[aSpex Daemon]

Hi, all

I try to understand how transclusion works, so I performed some tests. You can see it here https://googledrive.com/host/0B0F9ptfqZXrQRTlXb2p0MnphQmM/tw5a14.transtest.html.

I marked rows 5,8,10,12,13 because it seems to me that the results should be different.

Does anyone else think that there is something wrong?

Hi aSpex

Basically, in each of the cases you've highlighted the transclusion target is a field reference, with a separate template. When you use a template, the effect is that the template is rendered (not the target), but with the current tiddler variable set to the target tiddler. So, when you use a template, it's not meaningful to be able to set the current tiddler to a particular field or index. When you use a template, you should use a straight tiddler reference as the transclusion target.

Your table is incredibly helpful and has helped me spot a bug; in your cases 5, 8, 10, 12 and 13 the field modifier is incorrectly applied to the template, rather than the target. I've just committed a fix which will come out as alpha.15 in the next day or so.

The bigger bug, though, is that it shouldn't be possible to specify a field or index when using a template.

Best wishes

Jeremy
