So if I was in a tiddler called "Home improvements", and wanted to return a list of tiddlers with the prefix "Home", I could do this:
<<list-links "[prefix[Home]]">> But I want to be able to put the list-links command in a skeleton or a macro, so that I don't need to hard-code it. The first step would be to be able to have a command that returns the first X characters of a field. Then that field could be the current tiddler's title. Then that could be used as the required prefix. On Thu, 28 Apr 2016 20:31 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki, < [email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to understand exactly what you want.
