Always Learning yes, I understand where you are coming from. In its defence the whitespace means something in filters, so I think for documentation line feeds and leading spaces should be ignored in the filter, not continue to act as broken whitespace.
- In the https://tiddlywiki.com/#Introduction%20to%20filter%20notation tiddler it starts with separating title with spaces. - In https://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Expression where it says whitespaces it should just say space(s) - Also in https://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Run and possibly elsewhere Perhaps you should request the documentation be fixed and non spaces get "eaten", including leading spaces on a line (so each item can be indented) Regards Tony On Thursday, January 10, 2019 at 9:59:37 PM UTC+11, Joe Armstrong wrote: > > > > On Thursday, 10 January 2019 11:15:25 UTC+1, TonyM wrote: >> >> Joe, >> >> Newlines in filters do not work, however if you passed fieldname="value" >> pairs to the create new tiddler action you could use newlines.
