I'm not sure if this is possible.  I'm assuming it isn't since I've tried 
many things.  What I'm doing is I created a macro to generate a table of 
links, organized by certain tags they have.  It's using HTML table syntax 
since the size of the table is dynamic, it is easy to just keep adding rows 
of each entry found by the List widget.  

It's very similar to the filter operator table in the TW documentation 
here: http://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Operators

The problem is, I want the left-most column to contain a row header for 
that group of tiddlers in the table share. So that cell must span the 
number of rows that will be generated.  For example, the filter says, get a 
list of all tiddlers with tag TBD, (say there are 5 of them), now create 
Row header with rowspan="5" displaying TBD as a title, now list links to 
the 5 tiddlers to the right of that row header.  If there are always 5, it 
works perfectly with the TBD row header spanning the 5 rows of links.  But 
this needs to support any number of tiddlers.  But it seems there is no 
possible way to get the size of the filter list and pass this to the 
rowspan attribute.  <$count> does not help since that seems to only wikify 
the result for displaying.  

Is there any way to accomplish this? I'm honestly a little surprised TW5 
doesn't already have a special operator or default variable to capture a 
list size.  Seems like the list widget could be enhanced to automatically 
set a variable equal to the size of the list.
