Display contents of tiddler as list

[Craig Chandler]

Hi, is it possible to display contents of a tiddler as a list, specifically for use in a selection list

ie. have a tiddler "Topic List"

Topic 1
Topic 2
Topic 3

Then in another tiddler be able to Select a topic with something like

<$select field="Topic:">

<$list filter={{Topic List}}>

<option><$view field='title'/></option>

</$list>

</$select>

(above code completely made up)

Cheers

Yes if this is your Topic List:

[[Topic 1]]
[[Topic 2]]
[[Topic 3]]

Ahh thanks, does that mean a plain text list can not be made to work? 

[Stephan Hradek]

You could also use my pick plugin and use this in your select:

<$select field="Topic:">
<$list filter="[[Topic List]pick:text[(?gm)^(.+)$]]">

Thanks Stephan, checked it out, very handy

I played some more with this, the above will actually work with plain text, its just the white spaces that throw it off so the Topic list above gets displayed as
1

2

Topic

3

So either have to

1. Use links as Stephan suggested

2. Never uses white spaces in list options, eg. Topic_1
3. encase in quotes also works, eg. "Topic 1"

4. Use a plugin
