Why does single line macro display content in viewmode?

[Mat]

Is it by design or is it a bug that a macro definition consisting of one line has the macro content displayed in viewmode whereas a macro consisting of multiple lines (or one line but with a linebreak after and possibly other non-macro content after) does not display anything in viewmode?

IMO it should better consistently not show, particularly as multiple single line definitions result in only the last one displaying, i.e

\define aaa() aaa

\define bbb() bbb

yields view

bbb

Ah, addition of possible interest: The background is that I made this little style definition

tag : $:/tags/Stylesheet

.tc-tagged-\%24\%3A\%2Ftags\%2FMacro .tc-tiddler-body:before {
content:"macro content"; height:1.5em; display:block; text-align:center; border:1px dashed crimson; padding: 0 5px; margin-bottom:2em;
}

...to have otherwise empty macro tiddlers show an indication of content. Of course, the tag itself might be considered enough but not in my particular context.

Hi Mat

Macro definitions are never displayed in view mode. Perhaps your second example lacks its terminating line break, and therefore isn't being parsed as a macro definition?

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hmpf, that's even embarassing... you're of course spot on!

Thanks Jeremy!
