How to use a MacroParameter in an included second Marco?

[Jan]

Hi!

How do I get this to work?

\define firstlevel(param1:"the parameter")
<<secondlevel>>
\end

\define secondlevel()
And here I need $param1$
\end

<<firstlevel "you">>

Thanks!

Well, this works, though it may not be what you have in mind:

\define firstlevel(param1:"the parameter")

<<secondlevel "$param1$">>
\end

\define secondlevel(param1:"the other parameter)

And here I need $param1$
\end

<<firstlevel "

you">>

You could also package the first parameter as a variable:

\define firstlevel(param1:"the parameter")

<$vars myvar="$param1$">
<<secondlevel>>
</$vars>
\end

\define secondlevel()
And here I need $(myvar)$
\end

<<firstlevel "you">>

Notice that when you use a parameter passed as a parameter you use $parameter$ but when you use a variable (I'm sure I'm using the terminology)  then you use $(variable)$. Both forms, $param$ and $(variable)$ are only good when called INSIDE a macro.

Hello Mark, thanks a lot,
the second solution works, in my constellation the first one somehow did not....
