After a bit of trial and error, I was able to modify the code as follows;
<!-- use kin filter to find succession of tags -->
Successors to ''<<currentTiddler>>'':
<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>tags[]tag[Railroads]first[]]"
variable=firsttag>
<ul>
<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>kin:tags:from[]!kin<firsttag>!title
<currentTiddler>]"> ->
<$link><$view field="title"/>
</$link>
</$list>
</ul>
</$list>
<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>tags[]tag[Railroads]last[]]"
variable=secondtag>
<ul>
<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>kin:tags:from[]!kin<secondtag>
!title<currentTiddler>]"> ->
<$link><$view field="title"/>
</$link>
</$list>
</ul>
</$list>
The above works just how I wanted. Since my current case never has more
than two tags, first and last will suffice. If there's ever a case where
there will be more than two, then I'll have to readdress that.
If anyone sees a simpler way of doing it, I would be more than happy to
hear what that would be. I'm sure that there is a better way to do it given
that I'm pretty much a noob at this.
Thanks,
Damon
