I think that you don’t “see” the following text before your cited text:
" The advantages of the widget formulation are: "

I think it is easier to understand by looking at the two codeblocks: In the first block 2 examples with normal syntax and In the second block 3 examples with macro call widget.

You have to use de widget. In your case, something like the 2nd example of 2nd codeblock. (But you don’t have to use the same indirection in a macrocall (widget)

<$macrocall $name=“image-card” img=<> width="" align=“left” …

#2

sorry but I still have problems. The macrocall syntax suggested by Tony and Álvaro does not work, the tiddler displays the code although with the image itself displayed in place of the image filename. I have tried replacing

img=<> with img="<>" and even with the full path to the image. I think shiraz is installed correctly since the standard syntax <<image-card "ximg imagename.jpg> … >> works fine. Is it possible that shiraz macros can’t be used with MacroCall ? Or (more likely) the error remains with my incomplete understanding?

I don’t know if it matters but I am using TiddlyDesktop under Linux Mint 19.3 and TiddlyWiki 5.1.22 with Shiraz 2.4.0

thanks, bye, Robin
