Arg. I had posted the code for that macro, and had forgotten to set it up
to get only those tiddlers tagged "mot" (i.e. word), because many tiddlers
are tagged "expressions", and I keep expressions. And then there are other
tiddlers that are neither a word nor an expression.
And because I'm a continuous tweaker of things, I also had to change the
variable name in the macro.
Also, worth highlighting that the macro shows how I've gone about handling
*dynamically
generated filters*.
Anyways, for anybody and all interested, the new version of the macro:
\define GetWords(FirstLetterOptions)
<$vars *thisFilter*={{{
[[$FirstLetterOptions$]split[]addprefix<lb>addprefix[prefix]addsuffix<rb>addprefix<lb>addsuffix<rb>join[
]*addsuffix[
+]addsuffix<lb>addsuffix[tag]addsuffix<lb>addsuffix[mot]addsuffix<rb>addsuffix<rb>*addsuffix[
+]addsuffix<lb>addsuffix[sort]addsuffix<lb>addsuffix<rb>addsuffix<rb>] }}}>
@@.multicol
<$list variable="thisTiddler" filter=<<*thisFilter*>>>
<$link to=<<thisTiddler>>/><br>
</$list>
@@
</$vars>
\end
*Example generated dynamic filter*: <<GetWords "aâà">>
thisFilter has the value [prefix[a]] [prefix[â]] [prefix[à]] +[tag[mot]]
+[sort[]]
