The syntax you used for the datafilter parameter default value in your
first code example is not correct. You wrote:
\define grid(datafilter:"[tag[<<currentTiddler>>]]", list:"[list[]]")
However, the correct syntax for using a variable within the filter should
be:
[tag<currentTiddler>]
The outer square brackets delimit the tag filter expression
The inner delimiters depend on the type of parameter being supplied to the
tag filter
* [tag[sometag]]
is for *literal* tag parameter values
* [tag<somevar>]
uses the value stored in a variable as the tag parameter
* [tag{sometiddler!!somefield}]
uses the value stored in a tiddler field. (note: you can omit the
"sometiddler" portion of the tag parameter to refer to a field in the
current tiddler OR omit the "!!somefield" portion to refer to the "text"
field by default)
Hope that helps...
