Mat that is brilliant. Ideas like that should be linked into the main TW documentation - simple and very effective. It shows that CSS is not just a way of tweaking the appearance of text - which I must admit was always my impression. Howard On Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at 10:26:02 AM

Hi Changoon Slight amendment to my previous reply - it assumed the ToC is headed by a tiddler called "Library". If Library is just a tag then you just have to replace every occurrence of [Library] in the suggested filter with tag[Library]. Hope this works for you Howard On Monday, August 24
