First baby steps with TW5 filters<http://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlerFilters.html>. I'd really appreciate if someone can comment on the following:
Here's a direct copy-paste of some table in tiddler TiddlerFilsters. To my surprise it kept the two colum structure when pasting in this post. I guess I'll see if the two columns are intact also after posting. (Note: It may be that all my questions are answered in the tiddler "TiddlerFilter Formal Grammar" but I do not yet understand how to read that tiddler at all.) Thus: *Filter* [tag[important]sort[title]] Ok, looks fair. Does it make sense to refer to "tag" as a filter, but "sort" rather as a "modifier" or is there another term, cause it's not a filter, is it? *Explanation given at tiddlywiki.com* All tiddlers with the tag important sorted by title [tag[important]!sort[title]] I get it, but it seems a bit contrieved that what really reads "not sort" does a reverse sorting. What's the reasoning behind this? All tiddlers with the tag important reverse sorted by title[[one]] [[two]] [[three]] +[tag[tom]] Is a blank space interpreted as OR iff(!) the space resides between operands? ... and a space followed by an expressed operator (the +) is just a space? What's the general rule here? Alternatively, shouldn't there be some kind of surrounding brackets around the three first operands? AND is normally not that powerful... but maybe + is not a regular AND but a super-AND spreading onto everything? BTW, are regular brackets, i.e ( and ) allowed at all actually? Any of the tiddlers called one, two or three that exist and are tagged with tom[[one]] [[two]] [[three]] [tag[tom]] (no question) Any of the tiddlers called one, two or three that exist, along with all of the source tiddlers that are tagged with tom[tag[tom]] [tag[harry]] -[[one][two][three]] Now, suddenly there ARE brackets for the minus sign, hmm... And there are no spaces between one, two, three. Does no space make logic AND? Is outer brackets required for this? Why does "tag" require outer brackets? Shouldn't tag[tom] be enough (making the word tag holy). All tiddlers tagged either tom or harry, but excluding one, two and three [[MyTiddler]tags[]] Is this a *special* command or could someone explain how this translates into the explanation on the right. Does tags[] mean "all existing tags"? And does "written directly after and without space" (in this case referring the position of "tags[]") generally mean that we're talking about something concerning what is written before it (in this case [MyTiddler])? Must it be an operator written after? All tiddlers being used as tags on the tiddler MyTiddler [[MyTiddler]tagging[]] Isn't this the same as [tag[MyTiddler]] ? If this means "All tiddlers being tagged with MyTiddler" then why does the name "tagging" make more sense than the name "tagged". All tiddlers being tagged with MyTiddler Will be really grateful if someone answers. Now curious to see if the two column format holds up.
