Hi Jeremy, Then why doesn't this work?
\define nthnum() [enlist<myList>nth[$(enum)$]] <$vars myList="2 3 2 2" enumList="1 2 3 4 5"> <$list filter="[enlist<enumList>]" variable="enum"> <$wikify name=item mode=inline text='<$list filter="[enlist<myList>nth<enum>]"/>'> <<item>> </$wikify> </$list> </$vars> The outer layer is generating a unique list of numbers, and so can't be compacted. The wikify turns a string that should yield exactly one result. It gets called 5 separate times. So at no point should a single filter be able to compact the data. Yet the output compacts (e.g. 2 3 is the result not 2 3 2 2). My conclusion is that the entire <$list> widget must be compacting the results in addition to whatever compaction goes on at the filter level.
