I am trying to create a tab to the tiddler [[Images in WikiText]]  (literally, that exact tiddler). I tried typing this into a new tiddler in TiddlyWiki.com:

<<tabs "[[Images in WikiText]]">>

but it didn't work.

This works for the second tab, but not the first...

<<tabs "[[Images in WikiText]] [[Working with TiddlyWiki]]">>

Why?

I suspect a bug:

Using your example on tiddlywiki.com does show that tab content BUT the tab label only reads "Images".

Changing the argument AND the title of the tiddler in question to "Imagessss in WikiText" also displays the tab contents but the tab label is still just reads "Images".

The <<tabs>> macro uses the caption field if present, otherwise it shows the tiddler title.   [[Images in WikiText]] has a *caption* of "Images".

This is a brilliant discussion of how clever TW is. And how that cleverness can trip you up. Is this a documentation issue?

Or is it just so rich you ever remain Grasshopper to the Masters? :-)



Best wishes

Nice image. Those eyes are exactly how you recognise a tiddlywiki user.

Hi Steve,

For me, those both work exactly as I would expect

It was the caption field. Thanks, Eric. Had me stumped! //steve.
