Hi Richard The tabs macro places the title of the current tab in the variable "currentTab".
So, in your top level tab tiddlers you can copy that variable to a new variable "currentChapter" like this: <$set name="currentChapter" value=<<currentTab>>> ...insert content of chapter tab here </$set> Then, inside you sub-sub-tiddler you can write this to get a reference to the current chapter: <$text text=<<currentChapter>>/>: My section name > I am guessing there may be a clever way to put the Chapter title into a field and then use it in the filter expression but I am still struggling to grok the wikitext syntax. You were on the right track, except that we use a variable rather than a field. Tiddler field values are global across the entire wiki, while variable values are assigned to specific portions of the widget render tree. So, any value that needs to be different in different areas of the render tree needs to be a variable. Best wishes Jeremy.
