Mat,
Mohammad used a macro to do the concatenation of values and Mark used the
triple curly braces to use a filter to do the concatenation. These are both
good methods
- In some cases the macro approach will need the result be be
wikifiy[ed] before use
- In other cases the triple curly braces approach may need to be wrapped
in <$text text={{{ filter }}} /> to have the result as plain text.
I have started to document this
here
https://anthonymuscio.github.io/#%E2%9D%BD%20%20Joining%20values%20with%20concatenation
and
also https://anthonymuscio.github.io/#%E2%9D%BB%20Filtered%20transclusions
I am confident we can develop a clearer approach to concatenation as well
as document it further. My personal preference at the moment is the {{{
filter }}} method as long as you feel comfortable with filters, this is
because you can do the "concatenation" at the last possible movement,
although it could have performance consequences.
Regards
Tones
