The TWCore standard macro:
   <<list filter [tag[param1]]>>
selects tiddler by tag value, and defaults to sorting by tiddler title. 
 The output is a bullet list of tiddler links.

   http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#MatchTagsPlugin
extends the TWCore filter mechanism so you can use Boolean expressions 
(AND, OR, NOT) to select complex combinations of tags:
   <<list filter [tag[param1 OR param2 AND NOT (param3 OR param4)]]>>
It also provides a separate macro, <<matchTags>>, that provides additional 
control over the output.

For example, to create a comma-separated list of links, all on one line, 
you can write:
   <<matchTags inline "[[%0]]" ", " param1>>
