[TW5] WikiText Formatting in a List Template

[Marc J. Cawood]

Giving TW5 another go after a decade of TW Classic and just trying to get a simple list going. In this case I'd like the recent tiddlers as an unformatted list as in:

* TiddlerOne

* TiddlerTwo

* Etc...

When I use this:

<$list filter="[!is[system]has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[50]]">

<<currentTiddler>>

</$list>

I get the links in a row. When I use this:

<$list filter="[!is[system]has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[50]]">

* <<currentTiddler>>

</$list>

I get the same but with a * character preceding each link. So I add a space and some progess is made:

<$list filter="[!is[system]has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[50]]">

* <<currentTiddler>>

</$list>

This is slightly better but has unwanted (vertical) space between links.

What am I missing?

Hi Mark,

I'd like the recent tiddlers as an unformatted list...

You need to use the simplest of all widgets, the TextWidget, to just get the unwikified text:

<$list filter="[!is[system]has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[50]]">

<$text text={{!!title}}/><br/>
</$list>

I added a linebreak, <br/>, assuming you'd want each item on a new-line.

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Even just <br> (no slash) is good.

Hi Marc

Sometimes its best to use html markup to get the layout you want:

<ul>

<$list filter="[!is[system]has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[50]]">

<li><<currentTiddler>></li>
</$list>
</ul>

-- or as a table

<table>

<$list filter="[!is[system]has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[50]]">

<tr><td><<currentTiddler>></td></tr>
</$list>
</table>
