Wikitext in $list widgets

[Luis Gonzalez]

I saw some wikis (http://tw5magick.tiddlyspot.com, the "List Questions" tiddler) with this code:

<$list filter="[tag[Quiz]tags[]] -Quiz +[sort[title]]">
! <$view field="title"/>
<$list filter="[is[current]tagging[]] +[tag[Quiz]] +[sort[title]]">
<$link><$view field="title"/></$link>
</$list>
</$list>

And it renders as wikitext with the title as Title1.

But if I put this code in my wikis the wikitext is not preserved. I can't find why...

I think there was a change to how the list widget handles styles.  Put a linebreak after the first <$list> widget and the ! format should work (it did on mine).

But now you might not like the additional space before and after the title. This sort of unexpected thing is why I often end up using html to format rather than wikitext.

Mark S. This sort of unexpected thing is why I often end up using html to format rather than wikitext.

I often think we need notes for "The Not So Well Documented". I often get tripped up by when to add newlines or not. I realised, far too slowly, its a contextual lottery.

Might be worth advising users to add empty lines in testing creations that seem not to work?

This need to place a blank line before some wikitext inside widgets, even html is common through out tiddlywiki. Its even noted sometimes in the documentation.

I do as TT said myself.
