macro vs transclusion confusion (viewing fields)

[Dave]

I don't understand why this macro (in the tiddler "fieldsHere(fhere)") doesn't work:

\define fhere()
<table class="tc-view-field-table">
<tbody>
<$list filter="[all[current]fields[]sort[title]] -text -tags -created -modified -title" template="$:/core/ui/TiddlerFieldTemplate" variable="listItem"/>
</tbody>
</table>

<<fhere>>

I.e. when I tag it $:/tags/Macro  and then put <<fhere>> in another tiddler, nothing shows up (assuming there are some custom fields there)

The custom fields show up in the original tiddler, and when I do this

{{||fieldsHere(fhere)}}

that works the way I want it to







In other words, I've solved my need to look at the fields in a particular tiddler without going into edit mode, but I would like to know why the macro version doesn't work (please :)







btw, the original code is from here: http://tobibeer.github.io/tw/filters/#fields%20of%20current%20tiddler

Hi,

Did you try to add an \end marker?

\define fhere()
<table class="tc-view-field-table">
<tbody>
<$list filter="[all[current]fields[]sort[title]] -text -tags -created -modified -title" template="$:/core/ui/TiddlerFieldTemplate" variable="listItem"/>
</tbody>
</table>

\end

This works for me.

of course! now it works.  Well, hopefully someone will find the snippet of code useful at least, lol

Thanks Mario :)
