Bob, When reading the documentation on tiddlywiki.com the intention is for the content to be displayed in the view template.
Editing the tiddler exposed the documentation macros <<.operator-example 1 "[[23]add[19]]">> This is calling the .operator-example and is not itself documented for the reader. As a community we are always looking for help enhancing the documentation, but a lot of members have documented a lot elsewhere. It is quite easy to submit simple documentation updates on tiddlywiki.com if you have a github account. As for filters the information is all there, technically, and yes not in one place, but the application and extensibility means further documentation is necessary to empower users. There are many resources around. Most recent is some of Mohammad's work, look for his library of plugins, the first port of call is possibly the community links on tiddlywiki.com and Davids TiddlyWiki Toolmap <https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM> Yes, we have a distance to go, but fast innovation can cause a drag in documentation.
