Hi Tobias > any limit parameter for the macrocall of the timeline macro gets ignored
The limit parameter isn't ignored. It's used to choose the tiddlers whose dates become headings in the timeline. Then all the tiddlers for each of those days are listed. It's done that way for performance; the speed of the recent tab has a big impact on the page refresh cycle time. To fix the timeline macro to work in the expected way we'll need a bit more flexibility in the way that lists are handled. In particular, the setvariable widget needs to be extended to allow the results of a filter to be assigned to a variable. Then we need a couple of new filter operators for working with variables containing lists: one to select all of the entries in the list and one to filter the current list according to whether each item is listed. I've made a ticket: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1124 Best wishes Jeremy.
