Thanks Andreas,
Captured for future publishing, and possible reference.
I would love to make my own widgets, one day.
I have started working on the use of macros which return a true or false
value then have a simple to read filter that interrogates this status. I
have not yet posted about it, because there is some strange intermittent
behaviour I have not identified.
The Test will look something like this
<$list filter="[enlist<hascaption>prefix[true]]" variable="null">
Has caption
</$list>
So in this case we use a "textual" description of the condition we are testing
eg; hascaption
Regards
Tony
