Unfortunately, that's not quite what I wanted to do. I want to the field
as a List Field, and do some arbitrary thing for each element in it.
Therefore, I need to evaluate the macro (including any transclusions)
before returning it to the filter= param. If I call a macro as the filter
param, it doesn't seem to resolve any widgets, giving me the output I
posted on the bottom of my initial topic. Further reading has seemed to
indicate <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Macros> that wikiText (including widgets)
is not evaluated during macro evaluation. Which means that the filter
doesn't receive a list of Tiddlers, but rather a string of wikiText, which
it doesn't know how to parse. At this point, I'm pretty sure what I'm
trying to do isn't quite possible, though I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
