I was able to answer my question using the below code.
$<$text text={{{ [tag{!!title}get[cost]sum[]] }}}/>
I do like the idea of trying that in a macro though. It looks like it could
clean up some of the code if I did it via a macro. Are macro's available
throughout the entire tiddlywiki or are they only available to the tiddler
they're defined in?
Sadly, I still haven't found a nice way to use the draggable method to
reorder task list items, such that I still have a checkbox and number
associated with it but I'll keep looking otherwise. Thanks for the
response, it's given me a bit to think about!
