cant get tiddler to show tagged

[Ryan]

Im baffled.

I've got [tag[journal]] in DefaultTiddlers to show my journal entries
on start. That works fine..

I created a tiddler called "in progress" and gave it the definition
[tag[inprogress]] and have twiddlers tagged with "inprogress"

Why arent these listed in the "in progress" tiddler? This is driving
me nuts!

What do you mean by "gave it the definition"? Can you provide a test case*?

Upon startup, the contents of DefaultTiddlers is used as *data* by the
core in order to determine which tiddlers are to be initially
displayed. Typically, DefaultTiddlers contains just a statically-
defined space-separated list of tiddler titles. However, in order to
provide greater flexibility, the core also permits you to embed
"tiddler filter" syntax in that list of titles, e.g.:

SomeTitle [tag[something]] SomeOtherTitle

Normally, the [tag[...]] syntax is used within a TW macro that
processes a list of tiddlers (e.g., <<someMacro ... [tag
[tagvalue]] ...>>), and the use of [tag[...]] in DefaultTiddlers is
handled as a special case: it is used programmatically by the core to
*select* the tiddlers to be displayed at startup. However, when
DefaultTiddlers itself is shown in the story column, the tiddler
filter is rendered as-is, since that syntax is not interepreted as a
wiki *formatting* sequence.

Fortunately, even though you can't use the filter syntax directly in
tiddler content, you can apply the filter to render a list of links to
tiddlers by using the <<list>> macro:

<<list filter [tag[something]]>>

This will automatically display a bulleted list of links to all
tiddlers that are tagged with 'something'. Just place the above macro
into your 'InProgress' tiddler and you should be all set.
