MatchTags plugin and view title macro
Lluis Sasplugas
I'm using matchTags Plugin with %3 substitution marker to generate a list of tiddlers. Each tiddler tittle is inside the text together with the <<view title>> macro. It seems that matchTags does not renderize <<view title>>.
Is it possible to solve this?

The output of MatchTagsPlugin *is* wikified. However, the TWCore's
<<view>> macro *only* allows reference to fields in the *current*
tiddler. Thus, while you are embedding <<view title>> in the wikified
output of each matched tiddler, the macros contained in each tiddler's
source will not be processed in the *context* of the tiddler in which
it is stored. In fact, because MatchTagsPlugin generates output
assembled from multiple matching tiddlers, it is actually rendered
without *any* specific tiddler context. As a result, any macro that
relies upon the current tiddler (e.g., the <<view>> macro) does not
produce any output at all.
Note that there are many other macros that are not tiddler-context
dependent (e.g., <<today>>, <<tabs>>, <<slider>>, etc.), and these
macros *do* render in the MatchTagsPlugin-generated output.
Fortuanately, for your use-case, there may be a reasonable
alternative: try using the "%0" (tiddler title) substitution marker in
your <<matchTags>> macro, like this:
<<matchTags "%0" ...>>
