That is awesome, thanks Evolena. I've also added a sort[title] to the
filter, and it now looks exactly as I wanted it to. One thing I don't get
though, is why the transcluded wikitext from the *defn* field looks
correct, when your example code above doesn't specify mode="block". Is
"block" the default mode for the TranscludeWidget?
