Maybe, as an alternative we could have a format filter operator that uses something similar to the Python string format function, so we could have: - ...format[":<06d"] number - left align - right padded with "0". - ...format[":>06d"] number - right align - left padded with "0" - ...format[":>10s"] string right aligned - padded with spaces. - ...format[":>_10s"] string right aligned - padded with "_". - etc. Given that our numbers are already strings, we may not really need "d" or "s" and just default to string type. I would be interested in any other suggestions. Mal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
