Jeremy, thanks for super fast reply!!!

Aha, so the SetWidget "remakes" the filter output (which is originally a set 
of tiddlers <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Filters>) into a list. That's 
interesting.


I suspect that sometimes what you actually want is to access the first

Just to make sure; IF one would want any other element than particularly 
the first one, this could then be controlled in the filter (using nth), 
right?

That would be very useful and it would much simplify manipulation of 
strings and tiddler content. Should I post an issue?

Thank you!
