As you noted, references are based on use of another tiddler title contained within tiddler content. Thus, if TiddlerA contains "[[TiddlerB]]", TiddlerA is a reference for TiddlerB. References are gathered automatically, based on content. In contrast, tags are explicit keywords assigned to a specific tiddler. These tag keywords *can* be the titles of other tiddlers. For some applications, people tag one tiddler with the title of another to define hierarchical "parent/child" relationships between the tiddlers, but tags can be *any* text that is meaningful for your use-case, not just tiddler titles. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios EVERY DONATION IS IMPORTANT!
