Jeremy, thanks.
It worked. I cut and pasted this into a file, imported into TW5, and
that's it. I created a tiddler with a start field "20120101", and another
tiddler with the following list:
<$list filter="[has[start]]">
<$view field="start" format="date"/>
</$list>
I have noticed, the date field is set to time in UTC. When the field is
set to "20120101", then <$view field="start" format="date"/> renders it as
December 31, 2011. Is there a way to interpret dates in local time?
Thanks.
