Hello,

This code...
\define property_table(PROP)
<table><$list filter="[tag[apdl]tag[help]]+[sort[title]]">
<tr>
<td>{{!!title}}</td>
<td>{{$$PROP$$}}</td>
</tr>
</$list>
</table>
\end


... didn't do the same thing as this code from TW2

<<get ##Summary filter:"[tag[apdl AND help]][sort[title]]" table 
category:"Macro 
Name">>



The TW2 code creates a two column table with column headers "Macro Name" 
and "Summary"
The first column then contains links to each tiddler in the list and the 
second column takes its content from a part of the column1 tiddler that has 
a heading "Summary" e.g: "Does this then the other"

!!!Summary
Does this then the other

!!!Main Body
More Stuff


For the TW5 code above to work (for me), I needed to delete the macro 
argument and replace $$PROP$$ with !!summary, having first defined a field 
in each tiddler called summary. This is really inconvenient because I don't 
want to define a field, it doubles the amount of data entered for the 
summary and would require care if I forgot to update the field value after 
changing the summary text.

Also the first column now lists the tiddlers, but not as links.

Hats off to TW2 for being so succinct and powerful. I can't see how TW5  "ends 
up being *a lot* more flexible"

Thanks, Bob
