Holy guacamole, that is a thing of beauty. I think I get it. Seeing a macro and filter in the context of some thing I want to do, that kind of practical perspective makes things pretty clear. Thank-you so much ! I have to figure out how to intertwingle some studying time (for all of this) wit

Hi, so actually the answer is probably not going to be much longer it just contains a macro example and an explanation of how it works. The macro itself can live in any tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Macro. So first here is the actual macro: \define RenderContent(id) <$vars purpose={{{[has[purpose]

That looks A-1 to do on one tiddler needing to decide what content to show based on context, but how to do that once so that it can be used for a plethora of tiddlers that show different content based on context? I would not want to put that kind of code on each of my multi-context-handling tid

Charlie, so first things first here is my version. This specific code would go into Content, but it would look nearly the same with the other tiddlers: <$set name="purpose" filter="[[Alternate TiddlyWiki Purposes]get[purpose]]"> <$list filter="[match[ProductReviews]]"> {{Contents (Product Review

Charlie, I saw in some of your code the use of tiddler named "Contents (Urban Off Gridding)" - First - I have a shack in the Australian bush that's off grid, sustainability is one of my interests. - A Quick test revealed (tiddlernames) seem quite secure in filters and other places
