  • Transclude the value of the text field each of those tiddlers
    • Substitute the default value for missing or empty values

Depuis : 5.2.2

The use of the :index second suffix changes the default lookup location from field: text to index: 0. This is used if no 2nd parameter is provided.

The action of this operator is as follows with 2 parameters:

If there are two parameters provided, use the second parameter as the target field or index.

Note
If there is only one parameter given, the filter checks for a second suffix equal to "index". If this suffix is found, the default target index is "0".

In all other cases, the default target field is "text".

Then:

  • Apply the specified prefix to each input tiddler title, yielding a new list of tiddler titles
  • Transclude the value of the target field or index
    • Substitute the default value for missing or empty values
  • Return the list of values
