How to transclude a transclusion

1

I would like to create a button that looks like the icon taken from the tiddler icon field:

Tiddler X
Icon field: $:/core/icon

<$button>
{{!!icon}}
</$button>

Doing so shows me not the Tiddlywiki’s cat, but the plain text “$:/core/icon”.

I tried playing around with $wikify and with variables, but with no luck.
I thought I’d ask because I’m sure this is something simple, and it’s just my inexperience holding me back.

-Any tips?

But this way there is no icon next to the title of the tiddler, I don’t know if it is desirable

What do you mean by icon next to tiddler title ?

This is a cropped screenshot image which I took in my mobile. So the tiddler edittoolbar buttons are missing. Is that what you are referring to ?

This icon. If I wrap with curly brackets “$:/core/icon” it does not appear anymore next to the title of the tiddler. If I instead l don’t wrap it it is displayed.

I don’t have the answer to your question. Just wait till someone else with a solution see this post.

lol, i doubt this is good practice but it works:

<$wikify text={{{ [{!!icon}addprefix[{{]addsuffix[}}]] }}} name=icon output=html>
<<icon>>
</$wikify>

A tiddler’s icon field usually contains a tiddler title referring to an image tiddler. To transclude this icon within the tiddler’s content, you can use the $transclude widget, like this:

<$transclude tiddler={{!!icon}}/>

enjoy,
