Using <, >, " and / in widgets

[David Gifford]

Hi guys

I would like to create the following for the editor toolbar, since I use this a lot. But I know that the <, >,  / and  = symbols will break the widget. Is there a reference webpage for knowing what I need to replace certain characters with in order not to break things like this? I didn't see anything on TiddlyWiki, but it might simply be because I do not know what to put in the search window.

<$action-sendmessage
    $message="tm-edit-text-operation"
    $param="wrap-selection"
    prefix="<span class="doublelist">"
    suffix="</span>"
/>

Just to clarify, the 'wrap with @@.doublelist @@' option isn't an option in my case.

Hi Dave!

That was very educational. I had no idea it was so easy to make buttons now.

This code seems to work:

<$action-sendmessage
    $message="tm-edit-text-operation"
    $param="wrap-selection"
    prefix="""<span class="doublelist">"""
    suffix="""</span>"""
/>

As you can see, all I did was turn the double quotes around the prefix and suffix objects with triple quotes.

Wow that worked like a charm. Thanks!
