macrocall to transclude... Why no worky?

[Mat]

A: {{Lorem}}

B: <$transclude tiddler="Lorem"/>

C: <$macrocall $name="transclude" tiddler="Lorem"/>

A works fine. B works fine. C... nothing!?

What am I misunderstanding?

Maybe transclude is a widget and not a macro? ;)

A : transclusion
B : widget call
C : macro call of something that doesn't exist

Thanks!!! I wish I could say "Aw, I knew that!" and, in a way I can, but I know I've done this exact mistake many times before so... Well, thank you Evolena!

I haven't understood it at the first glance. And because of the final smiley I was wondering if you were kidding (sharing a funny mistakes that you had already resolved) or if it was serious.

If it often happens to you, you can define that macro:

\define transclude(tiddler) <$transclude tiddler="$tiddler$"/>


[PMario]

doesn't work for tiddler titles, that contain a double quote.



\define transclude(tiddler) <$transclude tiddler="""$tiddler$"""/>



This is less likely to fail if there are double quotes in a tiddler title. The problem here is, that the transclude widget has a lot more additional parameters too, which won't work here.
Also block mode is a problem ...

Thank you both. I'll probably not make a macro because I don't want to encourage myself to make the a similar mistake for other widgets. But I sincerely appreciate your suggestions.
