! Introduction
The ImportVariablesWidget imports macro and variable definitions from a list of other tiddlers and makes them available to its children. For example:
```
<$importvariables filter="[tag[mySpecialMacros]]">
All the macros defined in tiddlers with the tag "mySpecialMacros" are available here
</$importvariables>
```
! Attributes and Content
The content of the importvariables widget is the scope within which the imported variable definitions are available.
|!Attribute |!Description |
|filter |[[Tiddler filter|Filters]] defining the tiddlers from which macro definitions will be imported |
! Global Macros
So-called global macros are implemented within the main page template ([[$:/core/ui/PageTemplate]]) by wrapping the page content in the following importvariables widget:
```
<$importvariables filter="[[$:/core/ui/PageMacros]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/Macro]!has[draft.of]]">
...
</$importvariables>
```
! `\import` Pragma
<<.from-version "5.1.18">> The `\import` [[pragma|Pragma]] is an alternative syntax for using the ImportVariablesWidget. For example, the previous example could be expressed as:
```
\import [[$:/core/ui/PageMacros]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/Macro]!has[draft.of]]
```
