Hi Jeremy,

Speaking of sequences, let's say I have a few titles in the list field of a
ToC tiddler : [[Introduction]] [[My second chapter]] [[Here is the third
one]].

I'd like to count the number of tiddlers before the current tiddler, in
order to display for instance "Chapter *2* : My second chapter" from
<$count
filter="[all[current]operation-that-returns-the-sublist-upto-the-current-tiddler]"/>.
Is there a way to achieve this from the set of operators available?

Best regards,
Xavier.
