Dynamic parameters for macro/procedure/function calls (#9055)

* Initial commit

The idea is to extend the macro call syntax to accept dynamic parameter values (ie thing:{{more}} etc). Eventually, this will work in all the contexts in which the double angle bracket syntax is valid.

This initial commit gets the tests passing, but doesn't yet activate the new functionality.

* Test for standalone macro calls with dynamic parameters

* Parse attribute macros with the new parser

This fixes the tests

* Test for attribute macros

* Add some examples

* Tweak examples

* Fix test

* Temporarily disable a broken serializer test

* Fix/dynamic macro calls test (#9459)

* Revert "Temporarily disable a broken serializer test"

This reverts commit b3144300ee.

* restore synamic parameter parse result

* lint

* lint

* remove duplicate

* Update core/modules/parsers/parseutils.js

Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Fix unneeded diff

* Minor docs update

* Genuflecting to the linter

* Remove debug logging

* Add change note

* Allow single closing square brackets within double square brackets quoted strings

* Only allow new style parameter values if the separator is an equals sign

* On reflection, new style values should not be allowed for anonymous parameters

Backwards compatibility

* Docs updates

* Docs updates

type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
!! Introduction
This tiddler describes the different ways in which [[procedure|Procedures]] can be called.
!! Procedure Call Transclusion Shortcut
To call a [[procedure|Procedures]], place `<<`double angle brackets`>>` around the name and any parameter values.
```
<<my-procedure param:"This is the parameter value">>
```
By default, parameters are listed in the same order as in the procedure definition. A parameter can be labelled with its name and a colon to allow them to be listed in a different order.
If no value is specified for a parameter, the default value given for that parameter in the [[procedure definition|Procedure Definitions]] is used instead. (If no default value was defined, the parameter is blank).
Each parameter value can be enclosed in `'`single quotes`'`, `"`double quotes`"`, `"""`triple double quotes`"""` or `[[`double square brackets`]]`. Triple double quotes allow a value to contain almost anything. If a value contains no spaces or single or double quotes, it requires no delimiters.
See the discussion about [[parser modes|WikiText parser mode: macro examples]]
!! Procedure Calls with <<.wlink TranscludeWidget>> Widget
The shortcut syntax expands to the <<.wlink TranscludeWidget>> widget with the `$variable` attribute specifying the name of the procedure to transclude.
```
<$transclude $variable="my-procedure" param="This is the parameter value"/>
```
The widget itself offers greater flexibility than the shortcut syntax, including the ability to specify dynamic parameter values.
!! Assigning Procedure Calls to Attribute Values
The text of a procedure can be directly assigned to an attribute of a widget or HTML element. The result of the procedure is not wikified, which means that [[parameter handling|Procedure Parameter Handling]] does not take place.
```
<div class=<<myclasses>>>
...
</div>
```
!! Using Procedure Calls in Filters
Procedure calls can be used in filters. The text is not wikified which again means that the parameters will be ignored.
```

type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
!! Introduction
This tiddler describes the different ways in which [[procedures|Procedures]], [[functions|Functions]] and [[macros|Macros]] can be called. See [[Call Syntax]] for a formal description of the syntax.
!! Call Transclusion Shortcut
To perform a call, place `<<`double angle brackets`>>` around the callee name and any parameter values.
```
<<my-procedure param="This is the parameter value">>
```
By default, parameters are interpreted as being in the same order as in the definition. A parameter value can be labelled with its name and an equals sign to allow them to be listed in a different order.
If no value is specified for a parameter, the default value given for that parameter in the [[procedure definition|Procedure Definitions]], [[function definition|Function Definitions]] or [[macro definition|Macro Definitions]] is used instead. (If no default value was defined, the parameter is blank).
Each parameter value can be enclosed in `'`single quotes`'`, `"`double quotes`"`, `"""`triple double quotes`"""` or `[[`double square brackets`]]`. Triple double quotes allow a value to contain almost anything. If a value contains no spaces or single or double quotes, it requires no delimiters. [[Substituted Attribute Values]] enclosed in single or triple back quotes are also supported.
See the discussion about [[parser modes|WikiText parser mode: macro examples]]
!! Calls with <<.wlink TranscludeWidget>> Widget
The shortcut syntax expands to the <<.wlink TranscludeWidget>> widget with the `$variable` attribute specifying the name of the procedure to transclude.
```
<$transclude $variable="my-procedure" param="This is the parameter value"/>
```
The widget itself offers greater flexibility than the shortcut syntax, including the ability to override it with a custom widget.
!! Assigning Results of Calls to Attribute Values
The text returned from a call can be directly assigned to an attribute of a widget or HTML element. The result of the call is not wikified, which means that [[parameter handling|Procedure Parameter Handling]] does not take place.
```
<div class=<<myclasses>>>
...
</div>
```
!! Using Calls in Filters
Calls can be used in filters. The text is not wikified which again means that the parameters will be ignored.

This PR extends the handling of macro/procedure/function made via the `<<..>>` syntax to allow parameters to be specified dynamically instead of just as static strings. To indicate the new syntax the colon that usually separates a parameter name from its value is replaced by an equals sign.
For example, by it is now possible to do things like this:
```
<<mymacro param={{Something}}>>
```
Or even this:
```
<div class=<<mymacro param={{Something}}>>>
```
Or this:
```
<div class=<<mymacro param={{{ [<myvar>addprefix[https:] }}}>>>
```
Parameters can also be specified for the inner call:
```
<div class=<<mymacro param={{{ [<innermacro p={{Something}}>addprefix[https:] }}}>>>
```
The extended syntax can be used in three different settings:
* As a standalone construction
* As a widget attribute value
* As a filter operand value
In all cases, it is now possible to use an equals sign instead of a colon to allow parameter values to be passed as a transclusion, filter expression or nested call.

title: Macro Calls
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
!! Introduction
This tiddler describes the different ways in which [[macros|Macros]] can be called.
!! Macro Call Transclusion Shortcut
To call a [[macro|Macros]], place `<<`double angle brackets`>>` around the name and any parameter values.
```
<<mymacro param:"This is the parameter value">>
```
By default, parameters are listed in the same order as in the macro's definition. A parameter can be labelled with its name and a colon to allow them to be listed in a different order.
If no value is specified for a parameter, the default value given for that parameter in the [[macro definition|Macro Definitions]] is used instead. (If no default value was defined, the parameter is blank).
Each parameter value can be enclosed in `'`single quotes`'`, `"`double quotes`"`, `"""`triple double quotes`"""` or `[[`double square brackets`]]`. Triple double quotes allow a value to contain almost anything. If a value contains no spaces or single or double quotes, it requires no delimiters.
A more formal [[presentation|Macro Call Syntax]] of this syntax is also available.
See some [[examples|Macro Calls in WikiText (Examples)]] and discussion about [[parser modes|WikiText parser mode: macro examples]].
!! Macro Calls with <<.wlink TranscludeWidget>> Widget
The shortcut syntax expands to the <<.wlink TranscludeWidget>> widget with the `$variable` attribute specifying the name of the macro to transclude.
```
<$transclude $variable="mymacro" param="This is the parameter value"/>
```
The widget itself offers greater flexibility than the shortcut syntax, including the ability to specify parameter values.
!! Assigning Macro Calls to Attribute Values
The result of a macro can be directly assigned to an attribute of a widget or HTML element. The result of the macro is not wikified, but the [[parameter substitution|Macro Parameter Handling]] is performed.
```
<div class=<<myclasses "Horizontal">>>
...
</div>
```
!! Using Macro Calls in Filters
Macro calls can be used in filters:
```
<$list filter="[<mymacro param:'value'>]">
...
</$list>
```
