Hi Dear All,

I have several wikis updated to 5.1.11

In one wiki the preamble macro works:
code: <<.preamble """Text to be show inside the rectangle.""">>
result rectangle wit text!

I dragged the tiddler with the working macro into another wiki, and presto
nothing is showing.
Beats me? Happens with several wikis, some have the preamble showing
and others no luck.
Beats me 8-((
Anybody, please??
Thanks in advance, Edm.

The preamble macro is, I believe, not part of core but special for tiddlywiki.com along woth a bunch of other documentation macros

could it be that you've copied e.g the full tiddlywiki.com and in those copies it's working but if you try it on what was originally an empty tw, then it doesnt?

Do an advanced search (magnifying glass next to search field) for preamble and see what shows up under system/shadow in your various TWs.

It looks like you need, at a minimum to drag the following tiddlers into your TW where you want this functionality:

$:/editions/tw5.com/doc-styles

$:/editions/tw5.com/doc-macros

@ Mat & Mark S.

Thanks guys for the advice, Going to use it..
BTW, I always download the complete TW, then I have all relevant info
directly available. Empty is too empty for me. 8-))

Cheers, Edm.

Update!
Hurrah, works!
Though I have no idea why these files were missing
as I wouldn't dream of removing that kind code.
Thanks again!
Salut! Ed.
