In my setup, I use the following filter:
[tag[star_system]quadrant[$quadrant$]listed[solar_system]listed[planet]tag[species]sort[title]]
What this does is gets all solar systems whose quadrant value matches the
value passed into the macro this filter is in, then goes through two listed
parts to get tiddlers whose planet values are in the solar systems, select
only the species tiddlers, then sort them by title. Since all solar
systems and some planets have spaces in their names, *all solar_system and
planet field values must be surrounded in [[ ]] for the listed part of the
filter to work.* If this is wrong, please let me know.
Since the square brackets must be around the planet and solar system names,
I need to be able to set the solar system and planet fields in certain
tiddlers with names surrounded by two pairs of square brackets (
[[Cardassia Prime]] instead of Cardassia Prime, for example). Using a link
widget will not work in this circumstance.
I have a form that lets me create new tiddlers based on a template empire
event tiddler, and one of the fields that I manipulate is a planet field. *The
values of the planet field in these empire event tiddlers and the species
tiddlers must be able to match up, meaning they need a pair of square
brackets.* The problem is, when I set the value of these form elements, a
planet name comes up as simple text rather than a bracketed link (Rura
Penthe instead of [[Rura Penthe]]). I pass the value of the form into an
action-setfield widget by using a targetField={{!!formField}} format
(planet={{!!planet}}, for example).
The problem is, the value that shows up in the new event tiddler does not
contain the square brackets, which makes it not work with the filter
above. What I'd like is some way to construct a string that has square
brackets along with the field value and can be passed into a widget and
work correctly.
When I do [[{{!!planet}}]], the result is exactly that string,
[[{{!!planet}}]]. When I try to put it into a widget, it comes up as
[[$parameter$]]. I'd like to find a way to construct a string literal, but
I'm not sure how to do so.
Can anyone help me with this?
