Hi Merv,
The <$list> widget is, indeed, the right solution:
------------
<$list filter="[tag{!!title}]">
<$transclude tiddler={{!!title}} mode="block" />
</$list>
------------
The above wiki syntax says:
"For each tiddler tagged with the current tiddler title, transclude the
matched tiddler content in block mode (i.e, as a paragraph)"
Notice how, in the $list widget filter, the inner square brackets are
*replaced* by the curly braces... this indicates that the tag value (i.e.,
"!!title") is actually to be retrieved from the title field of the
currentTiddler, rather than being treated as literal text. The $list
widget tjem loops over all the matched tiddlers (based on the tag filter),
setting the currentTiddler variable each time it renders the content, so
that the {{!!title}} parameter of the $transclusion widget pulls the
content from each matched tiddler.
The default order for tag filters matches is *alphabetic by title*, so that
the paragraphs would be shown in order of their respective titles. To
change the order of the transcluded tiddlers, create a "list" field in the
tiddler that contains the <$list> macro, and set the value to a
space-separated list of the tiddler titles, in the order you want (don't
forget to use [[...]] around titles with spaces!). Any titles NOT entered
into the list field will be displayed after those that are listed.
You can also control the order of output by adding "list-before" or
"list-after" fields to the individual paragraph tiddlers... the field value
is the title of another tiddler, and indicates that the tiddler with the
"list-*" field will be rendered before/after the tiddler title specified as
the field value.
enjoy,
