Thanks Bimlas, For others, I am very excited about Bimlas's kin operator. In someways it is like a TOC in an operator, you can get all the tiddlers in a TOC structure as easy as if they all had the same tag.
Why Kin? Its short for Kindred, like relatives, it helps you find your tiddlers kin, be it ancestors or descendants. - This means you can treat a large set of tiddlers related not by tag or field value etc.. but as a member of a more complex hierarchical structure. - Given the field option you can interrogate not only lists and tags, but any field used to establish a relationship. - However you can also use the kin operator to find tiddlers higher or lower in a given hierarchy from the current tiddler. You can even use it to find the root tiddler of a hierarchy. - One trick is to use kin to generate one set of "relatives/kin" in a filter and use a second kin filter to add or remove from the first set. Thus you can get a union, intersection, difference or join between two or more sets. For example you could list all descendants of your grand-parents to a dept of two, but exclude your parents and their descendants (You and your siblings) to get a list of your aunts and uncles and cousins - Remember the easiest way to create a set is with a shared tag, you can use the kin filter thus to manipulate sets that can reduce or grow over time, and add grand children - Similarly you could build your own TOC macro then use kin to determine the relationships between members of the TOC eg is this tiddler my sibling, cousin, uncle etc... - Kin does not nativelly differentiate between parents but it provides the underlying tools to build both patralinial and matralinial hierarchies if you want to build a genealogical tree of infinite complexity.
