You can likely use the "match" filter operator for this. Transclude in your first paragraph of a tiddler named "test" like this:
{{{test ||show_first }}} Then make a template tiddler called show_first containing: <$set name="first_paragraph" filter="[is[current]match:text/.+/]"> <$text text=<<first_paragraph>>/> </$set> This seems to work but I am not sure why is includes some [[...]] around the text. Probably something stupidly simple that I'm missing. Also, I am not sure if the match filter operator is part of the core or some some plugin that I picked up and have been carrying around in my tiddlywikis since I see no description of it in the official site. /Mike On Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 5:29:36 PM UTC-4, Mat wrote: > > Things are a bit too difficult for me in the FastNewTiddler project, so > I'm hoping to make the specifications list in the "Todo (please help) > <http://fastnewtiddler.tiddlyspot.com/#Todo%20(please%20help)>" as good > as possible so it will be "easy" to at least ask for help, i.e with clear > descriptions of things.
