Hi Xavier,
I did exactly what you've demonstrated here and got the same results but I
couldn't get it to work in my own wiki because when I used the {{{
[field:tags[A]] }}} example, there were no results - I just thought I
hadn't included the syntax correctly. Then I realised that as another
experiment I'd previously tagged every tiddler tagged with A with a
secondary tag! Oh dear, and I haven't even had a drink yet tonight!!
Sorry for wasting your time and thanks to everyone who's helped.
Jon
