filter=<<foo>> uses whatever is stored in the variable foo as the filter itself, filter=[<foo>] uses whatever is stored in the variable foo as an input title.
Some examples are probably more helpful: <$set name=foo value="""[tag[HelloThere]]"""> Set `foo="[tag[HelloThere]]"` ! Using `"[<foo>]"` <$list filter="[<foo>]"> </$list> ! Using `<<foo>>` <$list filter=<<foo>>> </$list> </$set> This lets you build filters using [<foo>] and then use that filter using <<foo>> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
