can I directly add template code in my WF call instead of referring a chunk?

No, you can’t use ? & or = in MODx tags.

is there no way, do you see what I want to do?
for instance instead of creating a new chunks with template code inside and refer to it in a wayfinder call:

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`123` &level=`1` &outerTpl=`new_chunk_name`]]

i would like to do something like this, type the code directly instead of having to create a chunk and type the name of this chunks

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`123` &level=`1` &outerTpl=`<ul id="[+wf.classnames+]" class="[+wf.classnames+]">[+wf.wrapper+]  </ul>`]]

so, i don’t have to create chunks in the modx ressource manager

I kept searching
and i found i can use
@CODE:

but it still doesn’t work

my code:
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`123` &level=`1` &outerTpl=`@CODE:<ul id="[+wf.classnames+]" class="[+wf.classnames+]">[+wf.wrapper+] </ul>`]]

WTF is @CODE? Never heard of it.

And no, you still can’t use HTML as the value of a snippet parameter. You would have to encode every ?, &, and = sign with alternative characters of some type that the snippet would be able to translate back; just like URL encoding. Think of snippet parameters as similar to URL query strings, which also require encoding certain characters.

ok,
I found it in the wayfinder class file (wayfinder.inc.php)

here the function wf uses to fetch tpl:

function fetch($tpl){
	
		// based on version by Doze at http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5344.msg41096.html#msg41096
		global $modx;
		$template = "";
		if ($modx->getChunk($tpl) != "") {
			$template = $modx->getChunk($tpl);
		} else if(substr($tpl, 0, 6) == "@FILE:") {
			$template = $this->get_file_contents(substr($tpl, 6));
		} else if(substr($tpl, 0, 6) == "@CODE:") {
			$template =substr($tpl, 6);
		} else {
			$template = FALSE;
		}echo $tpl;
		return $template;
	}

well, if i can’t do that
maybe
can i use putchunk or getchunk to create or modify a chunk without having to go to the manager?

I know that getchunk retrieves the code of the chunk

but what is putchunk?
