When dealing with many parameters, I’m likely to setup a macro.
If things aren’t too complicated, I much prefer transclusion and transclusion templates.
Why? I can’t explain it. Macros annoy me for whatever reason.
Although a silly scenario, this sample code is about a little bit of filtering fun and to showcase how simple transclusion can be used for all sorts of things that are a little on the far side.
I’ve got a tiddler called “Some Tiddler” that has the text “Text in Some Tiddler”
I’ve got another tiddler with the following text:
{{Some Tiddler::red||tColouredText}}
{{Some Tiddler::green||tColouredText}}
{{Some Tiddler::blue||tColouredText}}
The template tiddler “tColouredText” has this text:
<$list filter="[!match[tColouredText]]">
<$vars thisTiddler={{{ [split[::]nth[1]] }}}
thisColour={{{ [split[::]nth[2]else[black]] }}}>
</$vars>
</$list>
