Hi Felix, I agree entirely! In fact, I added that very point to the Filter Syntax tiddler a few days ago in my local copy of the repository (which I haven't pushed yet).
Here's the text: The output of a filter step depends on its operator: - Most operators perform *relative* to their input. They examine each input title in turn and filter out any that don't match. Such steps narrow down the output of a run. - Absolute operators ignore their input and generate an independent output instead. *title* is an example: the result of *[title[A]title[B]]* is *B*. But the *field* operator is relative, so the result of *[title[A]field:title[B]* is empty. Then, in the tiddlers that document the individual filter operators, I've indicated whether they're absolute or not. I haven't quite reached *title* yet (I'm ploughing through them in alphabetical order), but I will add a note there too about the difference between *title* and *field:title*. I will be sending an almighty pull request with dozens of interrelated filter-documentation changes later this weekend! – æ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
