[TW5] currentTiddler as argument to "$link to"

[Mat]

Similar to Rustems question a mere half hour ago, but not the same (or?)

 

<table id="noborders">

   <$list filter="[removeprefix[$:/]]  +[sort[title]]">

      <tr><td><$link to=$:/<<currentTiddler>>>●</$link></td><td><<currentTiddler>></td></tr>

   </$list>

</table>

It's intended to produced a list (really a table) showing scrubbed titles (removing $:/) where the bullets ● are the links to them.

How do I get that "link to" to work?

Thank you!

I'm beginning to understand that the tricky bit is to have the link-widget "to" attribute accept a compound argument (i.e $:/ and <<currentTiddler>>) - is this at all possible?

You can use a macro to assemble the "compound argument"... and, because <<currentTiddler>> is a TiddlyWiki *variable*, you can apply text substitution inside the macro using $(currentTiddler)$, like this:

\define whereto()
$:/$(currentTiddler)$
\end

<$link to=<<whereto>>>●</$link>

Note that, in the macro, the "$:/" is literal text, while the $(currentTiddler)$ portion is the subtitution syntax.

enjoy,
