perfect, that worked, thank you mark! i am using tabs to set the state, and
filtering by tag[state], i was (also) using the count to debug the
single-word tiddler non-square bracket-requirement — there is one more
subsequent layer of filter transclusion in another macro, when i followed
your kind advice and put the braces in that subsequent layer without
quoting to string, to evaluate there instead, it worked! thanks so much!
