I can request that Jed make them come in whatever format is useful (if it doesn't put a lot of burden on him of course) In the basic, set of 4 case, you can use the nth operator like this: > > <$set name="myList" value="[[tid A]] 234234 [[meta data for tid A]] [[]] "> > <$list filter="[enlist<myList>nth[2]]"> > Item: <<currentTiddler>><br/> > </$list> > </$set> > > The problem is, if you try this, is that empty [[]] field will disappear. > This will happen if any of your fields are empty. > LOL, I implemented <http://mybob2.tiddlyspot.com/#:peek-list%20%3A%2F_TWed%2Fpeek-list> that exact idea just earlier today! > So you might need to have any fields that could be empty prefixed with > some indicator value (e.g. "m:my meta data") and then use the removeprefix > operator to present it. > Good idea. It gave me the idea to use the string " " (i.e a space character) so it can't be seen if it is written out.

What I'm more concerned with is if the whole idea with the proposed format is "bad" for some reason. Maybe the answer is simply that it will do the job - but maybe it is, for example, too fragile and will open up for problems in some cases I can't think of. BTW as you'll see in the implementation, I did't use line breaks as a delimiter but instead an ugly %%%. I wish I could use linebreaks (for optics) but they disappear when I use <$action-listops $tiddler='peek-list' $field="text" $subfilter="+[remove<tid>]"/> <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
