see http://tiddlywiki.com/#VarsWidget, in which Jeremy wrote: ------------------------- It should be noted that this widget differs from the set widget in the following ways: * A fallback (also known as "emptyValue") cannot be specified * Filters cannot be used to produce a conditional variable assignment * Variable names must be literal strings ------------------------- Thus, while $set and $vars are very similar, they are not 100% equivalent... and yes, I think $set was left as-is because of backward-compatibility issues. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
