[TW5] ListWidget: Comma Separated Output

[Tobias Beer]

How can I achieve a comma separated output using the ListWidget?

For example, I want...

<$list filter="[all[current]tags[]]"/>

to list all tags as inline links, e.g.:

TagA, TagB, TagC

I guess what I want is to be able to specify a delimiter for the list widget, preferably as wikitext.

Best wishes, Tobias.

<$list filter="[all[current]tags[]]"><<currentTiddler>>, </$list>

If you want a link have a look at: http://tiddlywiki.com/#LinkWidget

<$list filter="[all[current]tags[]]"><$link><<currentTiddler>>, </$link></$list>

-m

<$list filter="[all[current]tags[]]"><$link><<currentTiddler>></$link>, </$list>

Thanks Mario, especially for an example use of <<currentTiddler>>.

However, I don't want there to be a trailing or leading comma, hence this thread.

Best wishes, Tobias.

That would put a superfluouse comma at the end.

I fear at the moment this has to be done like this (not tested so errors might be included)

<$list filter="[all[current]tags[]first[]]"><<currentTiddler>></$list><$list filter="[all[current]tags[]butfirst[]]">, <<currentTiddler>></$list>

Thanks Stephan, that works.

Here's the final result:

Was looking for this feature and found in this old thread from 2014. Still works.   Is this still the best method for joining a list with a separator?

There is now the join filter operator ...join[,]...

[amreus]

@Mark- I did see that but must not understand.  I would like to create a link for each title in the output.  When I try join, I get a single link with all the titles together.

My parameterized macro:

\define join-with(sep, filter)
<$list filter="$filter$ +[first[]]"><$link/></$list><$list filter="$filter$ +[butfirst[]]">$sep$<$link/></$list>
\end

[amreus]

I suppose it could be done using list-links macro and a custom css class.

[Mark S.]

Assuming your titles don't have commas in them:

<$list filter="[tag[HelloThere]join[, ]]">

<$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/>

</$list>

Thanks Mat. I always appreciate examples.

Here is what I had come up with last evening. It's just css to use with list-links macro.
