Certain aspects of TiddlyWiki's behavior may be unintuitive or unexpected, particularly if you have prior experience with tools that do similar things to TiddlyWiki but function differently. This chapter calls out some of these potential confusions and explains why they're wrong and how you should think about them instead.

In this chapter

• Macros are not functions – TiddlyWiki macros do not behave like functions in other programming languages.
• Constant strings cannot be combined with transclusions – You often cannot combine a {{transclusion}} and some other text simply by placing them next to each other.
