Hi David,

for people starting out with TW it is probably pretty confusing since the documentation states that the toc macro expects the first parameter to be a tag and not some weird half finished filter expression.

Obviously using that trick yourself is totally fine for all practical purposes, it was merely a side note for Jeremy (and others) that those filter injection tricks are not user-friendly for new TW users but when people tend to do this to get more complex behaviour out of a macro, they will inevitably get in touch with this and it will be very confusing for them.

On the other hand, please don't ruin this beautiful macro by adding useless parameters :D

Thanks Andreas,

I am curious why you say it will not make for a good end-user experience whatsoever, since the end result of the toc will be the same.

Blessings

    Hi David,

    the toc macro does not actually accept a filter expression as its
    first parameter, but instead just a tag that is then filled into a
    filter expression. Within the toc-macro, the list widget is
    invoked with the following filter exp:

    <$list filter="[tag[$tag$]$sort$]">

    $tag$ is the first parameter, so your

    <<toc-selective-expandable '[tag[GettingStarted]!tag[$:/Note]]'>>

    leads to it being filled in like this:

    <$list filter="[tag[[tag[GettingStarted]!tag[$:/Note]]]]">

    And this is obviously not a well-formed filter expression. However
    this is not the end of the line. To make
    your filter work, you can do a filter injection by doing

    <<toc-selective-expandable 'GettingStarted]!tag[$:/Note'>>

    so that it becomes

    <$list filter="[tag[GettingStarted]!tag[$:/Note]">

    which will work but doesn't make for good end-user experience
    whatsoever.

    Why would both this:

    <div class='tc-table-of-contents'>
    <<toc-selective-expandable "[tag[GettingStarted]!tag[$:/Note]]">>
    </div>

    and this

    <div class='tc-table-of-contents'>
    <<toc-selective-expandable '[tag[GettingStarted]!tag[$:/Note]]'>>
    </div>

    result in this:

    Filter error: Syntax error in filter expression

    and how do I get it to work? (Make a TOC of all tiddlers that
    have the tag GettingStarted but not the tag $:/Note)

    p.s. I realize the new CSS is tc-toc. I am using a stylesheet
    where I have changed the old tc-table-of-contents to suit my
    tastes here.
