When you use < and > in a filter it passes whatever the variable is as an argument, so you using [<somemacro>] would use the output of <<somemacro>> as a tiddler title. To pass it as a string the way you are using you need to use $(somemacro)$ instead. This only works if it is inside another macro and it will put in the raw value returned by the macro. So in your case using
<$list filter='[$(variableName)$]'/> should be the same as <$list filter='[prefix[=]]'/> I promise there is a way that all of this makes sense, it just isn't always easy to see or explain. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
