[tw5] Re: Ignore "the" and "a" in dynamic list?

[Eric Shulman]

Take a look at the actual documentation tiddler (not the static version) 
here:
   https://tiddlywiki.com/#How%20to%20remove%20stop%20words

Edit that tiddler to see the implementation.  It contains this macro 
definition:
```
\define compare-without-stopwords()
[search-replace:i:regexp[^The |A ],[]]
\end
```
To show a title with the "stop words" moved to the end of the title, add 
this macro:
\define move-stopwords()
<$text text={{{[search-replace:i:regexp[(^The |A 
)(.*)],[$2, $1]]}}}/>
\end
```
To get your book list as a variable, you can write:
```
<$set name="book-list" filter="[has:field[book]get[book]unique[]sort[]]">
```
You can then use something like this to show the list:
```
<$list filter="[enlistsortsub]">
   <$link><>

```

enjoy,

[tw5] Re: Ignore "the" and "a" in dynamic list?

[Charlie Veniot]

Hello,

First, you should first take a look at the example at the bottom of this 
tiddler . 

It sounds like that's what you need.
