Thankyou very much indeed. Your explanation is very helpful. I am starting
to understand (slowly) how the whole thing works. Your other plugins are
also very interesting. Agin, thankyou very much.
My plan was to have a text-input box where I can type a filter expression
and see the list it generates and another box where I can type a tag, then
a button to click to apply the tag to all the tiddlers.
I understand (I think) now why that is not yet possible. I agree the other
solution of click, click, click is just fine.
One idea I had was to append +[!tag[$:/tagtoadd]] to the filter expression
so that when the button gets clicked, the tag gets added to the first item
on the list and it pops off the top of the list because now it has the tag
$:/tagtoadd.
What I'm having trouble with (at the moment) is successfully passing text
by reference - I don't understand the rules!
This is the simplest example of what I don't understand (right now) I'd be
really grateful for an explanation.
If I have a tiddler called "one" and it's text is [!is[system]] and a
tiddler "two" with text <$list filter={{one}} ></$list> then tiddler "two"
will render as a list of non-system tiddlers. Cool.
Then if I make "three" with text {{one}} I get a transclusion of "one". All
good.
But now when I make "four" with the text <$list filter={{three}} ></$list>,
it renders as {{one}}
<file:///Users/smith/Desktop/testtagger.html#%7B%7Bone%7D%7D> , which is
the text of "three", and not the list I was expecting.
What's the right syntax to make "four" render as expected?
Regards,
Richard
