Thanks for the explanation. In beginning to explain why I was going to use this parameter, I just realized I don't need it! My viewtemplate includes two parts to the body, one governed by tags but with an additional tag, "$:/TOC", and the other governed by tags but with an additional tag, "$:/Note". The idea of the parameter was to filter out the second set of tiddlers. But I just remembered that in GettingStarted I won't have any tiddlers tagged $:/Note. So this whole question is a moot point. Nevertheless at least I have a hack for it in case I ever need to do it that way for some reason. Thanks!
