Hi S.S., I just got the chance to test out your code. I had to massage it just a smidge, but it works great! Thank you. I have bashed my head against this problem for too long. I'm always amazed at how concise well-written tiddlywiki code can be. The solution to my problems is often achieved in half the code I thought would be required.
Thank you everybody! Best wishes, Adam On Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at 1:28:04 PM UTC, S.
