Default value with textinput or similar.

Does the TWINE <<textinput>> have a defaultValue parameter? If so how do you set it?
If not, is there an alternative method that does?

    It depends on the Story Format your using.

    SugarCube has the textbox macro which accepts a default value. (see Interactive section)

    The inputtext macro in Sugarcane / Jonah / Responsive does not support a default value.

    The creator of SugarCube has created a version of his textbox macro that works in Sugarcane and it can be download from his website, look for the "<<textbox>> macro (<button> variant) [ZIP archive]" link in the Extras section near the bottom of the page.

    Actually, that's a button-toting variant of SugarCube's built-in &lt;&lt;textbox&gt;&gt; macro, which is meant to be used with SugarCube.  It will not work in Sugarcane at all.

    Ah, thanks, you two.  :)

    I've been using the default SugarCane, but it looks like SugarCube has some features that I could really do with. I'll have to try it and see how well things go!

    To get around this in Sugarcane i've used
    <<set $firstname to "Carly">>
    <<set $lastname to "Wight">>
    on a passage before i've asked for input. In theory I think you could get around the input fields 'appearing' to be on different passages by using display

    This doesn't print your default variable in the box, though.
