Odd <$vars behavior?

[stevesuny]

This is really weird:

This works, despite (because of?) the lack of a closing ">" on the first line:

<$vars field-name="design" 

<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>!<field-name>[]]">

<div class="h2"><<field-name>>:</div>

<div class="text"><$transclude mode="block" field=<<field-name>>/></div>

</$list>

</$vars>

But this doesn't:

<$vars field-name="design">

<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>!<field-name>[]]">

<div class="h2"><<field-name>>:</div>

<div class="text"><$transclude mode="block" field=<<field-name>>/></div>

</$list>

</$vars>

Thoughts?

It's angle bracket count is probably being thrown off by this:

<field-name>[]

Pretty sure that's not allowed. You will need a macro to stitch together your filter, like:

\define myfilter() [title<currentTiddler>!$(field-name)$[]]

<$vars field-name="design">
<$list filter=<<myfilter>>>

<div class="h2"><<field-name>>:</div>
<div class="text"><$transclude mode="block" field=<<field-name>>/></div>
</$list>
</$vars>

Good luck!

Try using the FULL "field filter" syntax,  e.g., with the literal "field:" operator, followed by the <field-name> variable reference as a filter suffix, like this:

!field:<field-name>[]
