Ah, I solved it. I tried to create a filter in TW 5.17, but it didn't work. The best things I got were things like:
[title[alphabet]each:list-item[text]] But the problem is the set behavior. It can't parse on newlines. At one point it simply occured to me that, while I don't know how to upgrade Noteself to TW 5.21, I did notice that all the string filter manipulations were contained within a single JS macro file. So I went to the TW website, found the right shadow tiddler, exported it and imported it into my Noteself version. And now I have the added filter functionality for strings. I guess this is a prime example of partially upgrading TW in such a way that you get the needed functionality that one wants.
