Eric,
That's great, thank you. Now I can have:
<table>
<$list filter="[prefix[Job Number:]]">
<tr><td>{{!!title}}</td><$list filter="[<currentTiddler>indexes[]]"
variable="thisIndex">
<td><$view index=<<thisIndex>>/></td>
</$list></tr></$list>
</table>
Which returns a nice table.
There are still a couple of issues.
First, if the text reference contains a wiki link, like "[[Link]]", then it
is not returned as a link, but just as text with the square brackets. It
would be nice to be able to have that as a link if it wants to be, and to
ignore it if not.
Secondly, how can I set the order of the index list? It seems to be random
at the moment. I'd like it to be in the order of the data in the tiddler,
or failing that, alphabetical.
Thirdly, is it possible to return the names of the values, and not the
values themselves? If that were possible, the a macro could be made which
would do something like this:
<<data-tiddler-table "[prefix[Job Number:]]">>
would give a table with the first row:
| data value 1 name | data value 2 name | data value 3 name | data value 4
name |
and then one row per returned tiddler with the form:
| data value 1 | data value 2 | data value 3 | data value 4 |
That would be very generally useful!
