Hi Jeremy and thanks I'm afraid I am still confused;
<$text text=<<currentChapter>>/> <<tabs "[tag[<$text text=<<currentChapter>>/>]tag[Videos]]" "Subtraction" "$:/state/videostab" "tw-vertical">> This is my sub-sub-tiddler. The first $text works as expected and inserts the right chapter title but the filter expression returns an error, as does <<tabs "[tag[<<currentChapter>>]tag[Videos]]" "Subtraction" "$:/state/videostab" "tw-vertical">> What am I not getting?
