TW5 Global macro leave

[magev958]

I made a global macro:

\define counting()

<$count filter="[tag{!!caption}] -[tag[genus]]"/>

\end

and call it with <<counting>> and it works perfectly. But the text does not continue on the same line after the number but starts a new line. Any idea why?

Omit the blank lines from within the macro definition, like this:

\define counting()
<$count filter="[tag{!!caption}] -[tag[genus]]"/>
\end

In fact, you could write this as single-line macro definition, like this:

\define counting() <$count filter="[tag{!!caption}] -[tag[genus]]"/>

enjoy,

Try this:

\define counting() <$count filter="[tag{!!caption}] -[tag[genus]]"/>

or

\define counting()
<$count filter="[tag{!!caption}] -[tag[genus]]"/>
\end

So no new lines, because in wikitext this means to render the text as a new paragraph.

You where faster :) .... but the funny thing is. If I test the code of the OP with tiddlywiki.com it works just fine. ... So there may be something else involved too?

Thanks :)
The one-line does not work, but the other one does. I may have put some interfering css i a stylesheet somewhere, but now it works and I'm happy :)
