In using a TextInsert macro as a reference variable, it takes the literal term and not the reference.

[Anonymous215025]

I will be using the struct plugin as an example, it uses a syntax like so to pull up a table of information:

Page ID = food:chocolate_cake

======Chocolate Cake======
=====Chocolate Cake Recipe=====
---- struct table ----
schema   : recipe
cols     : recipe_ingredients
filter   : food = food:chocolate_cake
----

Where I want to use TextInsert and replace food = #@ID@# however it does not work as it takes in the literal string:

filter : food = #@ID@#

I have tried using parameter interpolation from reading this example: https://github.com/turnermm/TextInsert/issues/25#issuecomment-604537718

Macro Name: current_page_id Macro Definition: %1 Macro Reference: filter : food = #@current_page_id~#@ID@#~@#

Does not seem to work either as my expected tables to appear does not appear. What are your suggestions?

It's my recollection that the struct plugin does not accept textinsert macros. But you might try either this: #@current_page_id~#@_ID_@#~@# Or this: #@current_page_id~_ID_~@# The _ID_ is a special textinset macro representing the current page.

I used like this {{@HOME_BASE@#/video/a.mp4}}, and macro doesn't work

Macros are not parsed inside links. Also, your syntax is incorrect. It should be #@HOME_@#
