Hi Mark.
Sorry I realize that I had made my post more convoluted than it needed to
be.
*What I want to do is apply a filter to only a specific tiddler and its
descendants within a TOC. Any tiddlers higher up in the hierarchy should
not be subject to the filter.*
By adapting your solution I am able to do this for a filter that *excludes*
certain
tags, but not for a filter that returns *only* tiddlers with a certain tag.
Thank you for your patience. Si
