Any content anywhere after the $macrocall tag in the tiddler disappears! This happens because the $macrocall widget is not a void element, so it needs to have a closing tag. In the absence of an actual closing tag, TiddlyWiki pretends there is a matching closing tag at the very end of the tiddler. However, this causes the remainder of the tiddler to be part of the content of the $macrocall widget, and any content in a $macrocall widget is completely ignored (what would go inside the expansion of a macro call, anyway?). This is a common typo, so watch out for that slash.

You might wonder why the $macrocall widget isn't a void element, if we've agreed that it doesn't make sense for a macro call to have content. There is no logical explanation for this except that TiddlyWiki chose not to make any of its custom widgets void elements.

If this discussion didn't make sense, consider reviewing the HTML section.
