[TW5] Still struggling with default values in templates !

[FrD]

Hi,

Back again with my templates !
Here is a MTC : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9385804/TestTagsTemplate.html

The idea is to have a template to display the tags of a tiddler.
The display is an horizontal list or a vertical one according to a variable : $(tagsclass)$ that is set outside the call to the template.
This variable holds the name of a css class for the ul element.

The tiddler "TagsDisplayTemplate_WithoutDefault" holds the template that works without a default value for $(tagsclass)$. The test is in tiddler "TestTagsDisplay_WithoutDefault". It works as expected.

My attempt at a template with a default value is in tiddler "TagsDisplayTemplate_WithDefault". The test is in tiddler "TestTagsDisplay_WithDefault". As you can see something's going wrong. I can't figure out what !

Any help is welcome !

Thanks

FrD

This should do what you want:

\define tagsDisplay(class:"tags-display-horizontal")
<ul class="$class$">
<$list filter=" [all[current]tags[]]">
<li>{{||$:/core/ui/TagTemplate}}</li>
</$list>
</ul>
\end
<$macrocall $name="tagsDisplay" class=<<tagsclass>>/>
