In the filter that starts "[all[tiddlers]..." you can append your own specific tag operator.
I assume that once you've stamped the 1800 tiddlers that you will do new ones by hand. I guess you could run the whole thing again if you had a lot of new tiddlers you were adding all at once. I'm kind of hoping someone will pop up with "here's an easy way to get the first 3 letters of a title in uppercase." ;-) -- Mark On Friday, December 14, 2018 at 8:16:31 AM UTC-8, Damon Pritchett wrote: > > Thanks Mark.
