Hi Eric, Thanks for clarification! Still I am confused when I should use <<var>>, <<__par__>> and when $(var)$ and $par$.
I followed your code on http://tiddlytools.com/filtergenerators.html and solved the issue in my last post but with your explanation here, it seems I need a parsed value when I work with asynchronous . I have collected some notes from forum to understand how to work with these vars and pars. See TW-Scripts below (one is yours) https://kookma.github.io/TW-Scripts/#Variables%2C%20Fields%20and%20Filters%20in%20TiddlyWiki:%5B%5BVariables%2C%20Fields%20and%20Filters%20in%20TiddlyWiki%5D%5D%20%5B%5BVariables%20vs.%20Parameters%5D%5D Still not fluent in coding when I encounter such cases! --Mohammad On Friday, December 27, 2019 at 7:36:47 PM UTC+3:30, Eric Shulman wrote: > > On Friday, December 27, 2019 at 7:04:58 AM UTC-8, Mohammad wrote: >> >> It seems when I use <<ufilter>> tm-download-file does not work but for >> $(uifilter)$ it works!! >> > > just a guess, but...
