Hi,

It looks like you are treating TiddlyWiki and widgets like a programming language, trying to do iteration in each loop.  That doesn't work.

Take a look at the "counter" attribute in list widget.  That is a relatively new feature to help handle what you are doing.

To get the desired output:

<$list filter="[tag[TableOfContents]]" counter="a">

<$text text={{{ [<a>multiply[2]]}}}/> <<currentTiddler>> <br/> 

</$list>

Thank you Cj. And how can we get this list?

Use this calculation: `<$text text={{{ [<a>subtract[1]divide[3]trunc[]add[1]] }}}/>`

enjoy,
