Transclusion mode using excision tool

[stevesuny]

I've noticed that using the excision tool, my excised text is transcluded without formatting (such as blockquotes). While I can use the <$transclude> widget and specify block="mode" to retain my formatting, this seems to defeat the purpose of the excision tool. Is there a way to set the default transclusion of excised text to block mode? Or would I need to create a macro to do that?

Assuming I would need a macro, how would I reference the excised text in the macro?

Thanks,

If you did go with the macro route, your code might look like:

\define excise(title) <$transclude tiddler="""$title$""" mode=block/>

When you do a macro excision, it asks you for the name of the tiddler and the name of a macro. The text gets excised to the named tiddler, and replaced with a macro invocation like <<excise """title of excised tiddler""">> .

Hi Steve

Just to be shure: Do you have linebreaks before and after your transclusion? This used to work for me:

Some text ...

{{Trascluded with excise}}

… more text.

Cheers, Thomas

Thanks, Thomas & Mark. I don't have linebreaks -- I am trying to excise the 2nd half of a paragraph, and then the next paragraph, which is set as a >blockqote

So:

There is other stuff in the paragraph first. And, then, this is the beginning of the text I am excising.

>This is the quote that I also want to include in the excision

When I select that body of text, and it is replaced with {{excide-test-1}} I get this as code:

There is other stuff in the paragraph first. And, then, {{excide-test-1}}

and this as display:

So not sure how to get this to work quite properly.

Hi Steve

One solution is to ensure that the transclusion appears on a line by itself, followed by two blank lines, which forces the transclusion into block mode.

The other way is to use the excision tool in “macro” mode. With the default macro name of “translink”, you’d then create a global macro definition along these lines:

\define translink(title)
<$transclude tiddler="""$title$""" mode="block"/>
\end

Best wishes

Jeremy.
