Hi Tony, Mohammad,
A couple of points about this example:

First, you’re displaying the name of the current tiddler using a macro
invocation <<currentTiddler>>. The problem there is that the text will be
wikified, so if you have a tiddler called “This //is// my tiddler” then the
title will not be displayed as expected. To avoid wikification you can use
<$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/>.
Second, you’re evaluating the filter using the “filter” attribute of the set
widget. The action of the set widget here is to evaluate the filter, and then
store all of the results in the target variable as a list (ie, space separate
tiddler titles, with double square brackets for quoting titles that contain
spaces).
That means that if your caption contained, say, “This is the caption”, then the
text that would be assigned to the variable display-title would be “[[This is
the caption]]” (ie including the double square brackets).
You’re probably better off using the filtered transcluded attribute syntax:
<$set name=display-title value={{{ [all[current]get[caption]] ~[{!!title}] }}}>
Using the triple braces the quote an attribute value causes the string within
the quotes to be evaluated as a filter, and then the first entry (if any) is
returned. Thus, with the example above you’d get the expected text “This is the
caption”, without the double square brackets.
Best wishes
Jeremy
