Hi Eric, Many thanks, that's cool and also sorted something I was going to try to do later - generate the list in an event tagged tiddler automatically rather than entering each event for each individual manually.
Strange you say that wiki syntax shouldn't have worked as it seems to have done for me at least since a version of http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html on 3rd October. However, it only worked if I did't use the text/plain tiddler type. However, I've noticed something else that happened originally, then was 'fixed' but is happening again. When I click on a day in the calendar display where there's an event, say a birth, that's included in an events tagged tiddler called 'Born on this Day' then the link goes to a tiddler called 'Born on this Day: Frances Hamilton Arnold (1956-)' (say), which does not exist. Rather I'd hope it went to a tiddler called 'Frances Hamilton Arnold (1956-)' that does exist and has all the data that generates all the events etc. for that individual. This is what happened before the latest two-line change to getevents_listed(). Sorry to keep throwing things back to you and I hope my comments are useful. I'm excited about this as it's getting easier and more efficient to generate a calendar with all the events having just put the data into the tiddler for an individual just once.
