Hi I like the use of a make[] operator to generate new titles before creation of new tiddlers -- as action-widgets can then be used to modify the new tiddler (the title is known in advance.) The operator may be used with the $action-listops widget to create a list of new titles, or directly with a $list widget.
For example -- new tiddlers can be created in the background with the use of the $action-setfield widget (without the need for the $x-maketid widget) and navigated to with the use of the $action-navigate widget. Any other action-widgets can also be optionally added to the stack to modify the new tiddler. <$button> <$list filter="[make[<<currentTiddler>> %count% \ max:3]]"> <$action-setfield text="My New Tiddlers" title=<<currentTiddler>>/> <$action-setfield tags="one [[and two]] three"/> <$action-navigate/> </$list> Make New Tiddlers </$button> regards On Friday, 18 December 2015 23:52:05 UTC+2, Tobias Beer wrote > > > There could be a make *widget* that operates in your proposed mode, e.g.: > > <$make > $min="5" > $max="10" > title="the pattern %count%" > caption="%count%" > tags="foo [[bar baz]]" > tag1="mumble" > tag2="frotz gronk"> > Click to create 5 tiddlers > </$make> > > Whereas it would check for any tag attributes so long as they exist, > starting from tag1, incrementing.
