I'm working on the conversion of my TW's from TWC -> TW5.

I was fiddling with one of my new macros (converted & functional, but improveable) and I introduced a syntax error. Bingo, RSOD and I can no longer access the tiddler to repair the damage. In fact, I can't access the wiki. Fortunately it was small enough to fix by editing the html file with a text editor, but I'm pretty sure that's not recommended procedure.

I searched on this in the group and found a discussion suggesting that the RSOD won't happen if developer tools are switched on. Not so - developer tools were switched on at the time of this RSOD. I also found a suggestion that there is an option in the developer tools that needs to be on for this to be true, but that appeared to be for Chrome. I'm using, and plan to continue using, Firefox. 

Can anybody assist?  

Thanks in anticipation

try loading yourfilename.html#: and immediately deleting the Tiddler that's crashing you, or at the very least opening it, editing it, and removing the $:/tags/Macro tag, or removing the <<macroname>> call in the text of any Tiddler using it so it doesn't get called until you fix it.

I had one at least that produced the RSOD during the initial load.
