Hi Tony Apologies I could have expressed myself more clearly. I don’t think one can separate out teaching people to use the maths operations without teaching them to use filters. But conversely, maybe the maths operators will make it easier to teach the filter mechanism.
At the moment, there is an overview tiddler for the maths operators: https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#Mathematics%20Operators <https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#Mathematics Operators> And now I’m gradually adding docs for each individual operator.
