Hi Eric,
Thanks for the code. I was thinking more of a macro solution, since
this kind of thing seems to come up all the time. At least in my
world. I was putting various kinds of data into tables, but it
becomes increasingly difficult to make changes. Storing the data as
tiddlers with slices would make maintenance much easier. What I'm
heading for would be more like (assuming it also incorporated your
MatchingTiddlers technology) :
<<slicesToText
format:<string>
tag:<matching tiddlers string>
sliceList:<CSV string>
header:<string>
footer:<string>
sliceMatch:<string>
>>
Where sliceMatch (and I'm not sure how I would implement this) might
allow something like "date>'2009-03'" ... so might be a pie-in-the-sky
feature.
Thanks,
Mark
