Howto have the tabs macro display the title even if it has a caption?

#1

Is there a way to have the tabs macro show the title of a tiddler even if it has a caption set?

If not, is there a way I can create something like the tabs macro but without it showing captions?

Here’s a typical minimal use of the tabs macro:

<$macrocall $name="tabs" tabsList="[tag[sometag]]"/>

Note that there are actually quite a few additional macro parameters that you can use (see https://tiddlywiki.com/#tabs%20Macro). Among these parameters is buttonTemplate, which permits you to override the default caption content displayed on the tab buttons.

For your purposes, start by creating a tiddler (e.g., MyTabsButtonTemplate), containing just:

<<currentTab>>

Then, in your tabs macro, you can write:

<$macrocall $name="tabs" tabsList="[tag[sometag]]" buttonTemplate="MyTabsButtonTemplate"/>

That’s it.

Ah, ok- I wasn’t really sure how to use buttonTemplate, but this works exactly like I needed, thank you!
