It will be bypassed (not executed). Any code/content enclosed in a reveal widget that evaluates to False is not run and saves precious processor cycles, especially precious on mobile :) 2.question > is there any advantage in combining filters vs. nesting them? > Combining all your operators in one filter run is generally better than having multiple nested filters, but this depends on how you've designed your filters, i.e. how general or how specific they are. If you have two nested filters, where the outer one produces an output of 100 items and then you re-evaluate that output with your inner (embedded) filter you're essentially running it twice, which is inefficient. For example, this is less efficient: <$list filter="[all[tiddlers]tag[something]]"> <$list filter="[<currentTiddler>has[field]]"> </$list> </$list> than this: <$list filter="[all[tiddlers]tag[something]has[field]]"> </$list> Please correct me if I'm wrong.
