Alex, I will just add in your example, to use the TOC macros, you will need a root tag, such as TableOfContents or in your case maybe "AllCategories" that tags Category A and Category B then the TOCs root tag will be AllCategories Regards Tony On Tuesday, July 17, 2018 at 12:16:07 AM

It's a bit convoluted because the tags need to be added with the tm-add-tag message after the new tiddler is created. This seems to work: \define makenewtiddler() <$action-createtiddler $basetitle={{UseMeAsName}} $savetitle= "NewTiddlerName" /> <$fieldmangler

Hi Mark, Your solution using the each filter operator works great. The disadvantage of creating (empty) tiddlers is not that important to me. My 4 MB TW contains already about 1800 tiddlers and not all series of 'codes' contain doubles. In practice it means I need to have about 100 tiddlers
