You can use the <$wikify> widget to "render" the filter results. Assuming the filter results are in "somevar": <$wikify name="somevar" text=<<somevar>>> ... your code here ... </$wikify> By default <$wikify> parses the content as wikitext and renders as plain text, so as long as the content doesn't have any wiki syntax (other than the enclosing double square brackets), the above code will just remove the brackets around the link text, without any other effects. Note also how I've used the *same variable name* as both the source (text) and target (name) for the $wikify. This is just for convenience so you don't have to change any of your code within the <$wikify>...</$wikify> block. You can, of course, use a different target name so that the original bracketed value can still be available, if appropriate to your use-case. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools: "Small Tools for Big Ideas" (tm) InsideTiddlyWiki: The Missing Manuals -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
