Why the result is different???? > The difference is that when specifying a filter operand, you *use square brackets only with literal operand values*. Thus, in the first macro, because the $tag$ is a *macro parameter* that is automatically *substituted* into the filter syntax by the TWCore macro processor, you correctly wrote tag[$tag$]. However, in the second macro, tag2 is a *variable* that is *referenced* by the tag filter and, when using a variable as the operand of a filter operator, you *use single angle brackets to surround a variable operand reference*, instead of the square brackets you used previously for the literal $tag$ operand value. Thus, you need to use: tag<tag2> in your filter syntax. Your second macro should be written as: \define countTag2() <<tag2>>: <$list filter="[tag<tag2>count[0]]"/> \end enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
