@Mohammad Thanks a lot! Data tiddlers + Dynamic tables is exactly what I needed. Great plugin!
I have one tiny question: Is there a way to apply filters to the entries of a column? Here's what I've done which will make it clear what I mean: I created tiddlers to store shortcuts for each program. For example "Windows 10/Keyboard shortcuts" contains the following: Ctrl + Z: Undo Alt + F4: Close the current window. Then with this macro: <<table-dynamic filter:"[suffix[/Keyboard shortcuts]]" indexes:"[[title]] [suffix[/Keyboard shortcuts]indexes[]]">> I get a table like this: [image: shortcuts-table.png] So I'm asking if there is a way to remove the "/Keyboard shortcuts" suffix from the entries in the "Title" column, and maybe even change the name of the column itself to something like "Software"? I know that I could add another value to the text of the data tiddler, but this creates another step which I feel is best avoided. Thanks again for your help! @Mat Thank you! I did not know about the slugify filter.
