Basic question on filters

[stevesuny]

I just moved into TW5 from TWClassic, and am having to learn many things, again. Which is fine, and TW5 is wonderful.

But, I can't get a simple thing to work. As shown in

My question:

Why does [[Name Of A Tiddler]] become a link to the tiddler, but  [title[Name Of A Tiddler]] does not?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Steve,

[[Name Of A Tiddler]] is a wikitext syntax for a link. You can use this in a tiddler body.

[title[Name Of A Tiddler]] is not wikitext but a filter expression! It does not make sense to use this in a tiddler's body.

Hi Steve,

As Felix says, the latter only makes sense as part of a filter expression, like so - <$list filter="[title[Name Of A Tiddler]]"/>

Adding this will give you a 'list of one' which looks just like a single, inline link.

Regards,
Richard
