I didn't test them with MatchTagsPlugin ==== The plugins are labeled "experimental". IMO they work great, as a proof of concept to talk about and play with. It is a base to develop an extended filter syntax. .... I'm not very happy with the "additional syntax". IMO it is not consistent. eg: >The and filter filters any tiddlers it has at the time of filtering. >[tag[foo]][and[tag:bar]] >for instance finds all tiddlers tagged "foo" and "bar". Two different type of "tag" keyword usage. first: [tag[foo]] second [and[tag:bar]] Introduces a new "and" keyword. I know, that implementing this syntax as it is, is "relatively easy" because it fits the existing core filter structure. But it will be confusing for users. >To get tiddlers tagged foo _or_ bar use >[tag[foo]][tag[bar]] There is _no_ keyword for "or" but there was one for "and" above ... >To get all tiddlers tagged foo and bar and not tagged xyz you would use. > >[tag[foo]][and[tag:bar]][and[!tag:xyz]] [and[!tag:xyz]] While the exclamation mark makes sense for most programmers, it won't for most users. I'm in favor of the MatchTagsPlugin mechanism like [tag[this AND NOT that]] There are some more ... [is[]] [isnot[]] and !=not from above .... ==== There has been a discussion, where Jon and Eric did argument about the pro and cons of both systems. But I can't remember if it's at Dev or TiddleWeb group. I'm even not sure if it was about the filters space. ... If I find the link, I'll post it :) -m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
