Undesirable behavior:Control Panel setting "Tags for new tiddlers" causes toc macro to list $:/config/NewTiddler/Tags

[A Gloom]

To document a behavior and its solution for Group searches.

Potentionally undesirable behavior of the toc macro displaying the system tiddler $:/config/NewTiddler/Tags created by the Control Panel setting "Tags for new tiddlers".

The toc macro by default doesn't filter out system/shadow tiddlers which isn't an issue for the average user that doesn't tag system/shadow tiddlers with non-system tags.

The Control Panel setting "Tags for new tiddlers" tags the $:/config/NewTiddler/Tags tiddler with the tags you enter in the setting, resulting in $:/config/NewTiddler/Tags appearing in any toc macro that uses those tags.

The behavior is easily solved with an exclusion in the sort parameter of the toc macro...
<<toc-expandable "Contents" "!prefix[$]">>

Screenshot below shows the $:/config/NewTiddler/Tags entry appearing in a toc macro listing.  Don't let appearances fool, that is a TW with a custom sidebar tiddler with a single toc macro.  Buttons in the top right toggle between custom sidebars and standard search box/tabs sidebar (done with either reveals or manipulating of $:/tags/SideBarSegment tag of sidebar segments).

A Gloom,

Of course since the toc uses the caption field of any tiddler it lists simply giving the tiddler a caption may make it look better, in the toc.

But you have identified a fix that is needed.

Gloom,

That was a good catch and nicely explained.

i learned two things:

1. to avoid the problem
2. That there is a problem - guess I never scrolled down far enough in the info tab ;-)

Love your sidebar by the way. You have a way of making tiddlywiki look exciting- sure it matches your content, but still it looks very very good.
