SugarCube/twee special passage StoryData cannot be used in the include macro about sugarcube-2

$('tw-storydata').attr('ifid') should get you the IFID

[selden]

I must be overlooking something and don't how that construct should be used.

I assumed that $ indicates a global variable and naively thought that putting the text you provided into a passage should cause it to display the IFID.

Unfortunately, when I include that string in a passage, all it does is echo the text of that string itself and does not display the IFID.

What don't I understand?

Update: the EDID [i]is[/i] shown if I enclose the EDID query string in the print macro.

I dunno if it should be considered a bug that the "Naked Variable" construct doesn't work.

The StoryData compiler special passage is not compiled into the data chunk of Twine 2 style story formats. That said, its data is available within the data chuck in various elements. The information you likely want out of it can be found on the <tw-storydata> element's content attributes.

Console example:

console.log('Story Name:', $('tw-storydata').attr('name'));
console.log('Story IFID:', $('tw-storydata').attr('ifid'));
console.log('Story Format:', $('tw-storydata').attr('format') + " v" + $('tw-storydata').attr('format-version'));
console.log('Compiler:', $('tw-storydata').attr('creator') + " v" + $('tw-storydata').attr('creator-version'));

<<print>> example:

''Story Name:'' <<= $('tw-storydata').attr('name')>>
''Story IFID:'' <<= $('tw-storydata').attr('ifid')>>
''Story Format:'' <<= $('tw-storydata').attr('format') + " v" + $('tw-storydata').attr('format-version')>>
''Compiler:'' <<= $('tw-storydata').attr('creator') + " v" + $('tw-storydata').attr('creator-version')>>

PS: $(…) is an alias for jQuery, not a story variable, so the function call happening there not working with the naked variable markup is not a bug.
