macro definition

[Bob Jansen]

Can I define more than one macro in a tiddler and have them all available by tagging the tiddler with $:/tags/Macro or does it have to be one macro definition per tiddler?

Hi,

yes as long as all the macros are defined at the beginning of the tiddler. Empty lines to seperate the individual tiddlers work, but everything else in between will trip tiddlywiki up and won't let it recognize the \define following.

Also,

An empty define of the form

\define name()
\end

or

\define name()

\end

Will cause problems

However

\define note() Note in macros
\define note()
Some notes
\end

Thus redefining, is the best option for in line comments.

Also there is now a new tag

SystemTag: $:/tags/Macro/View

The system tag $:/tags/Macro/View marks macros that are only made available within the main view templates and the preview panel.

Content after the last define is ignored when macros are accesses due to a tag
