G'day, *In the code further below, I use what I know and/or what I'm comfortable with. Please, if you have code for alternative approaches, please share! This post is just about sharing code for studying.*
Working again on my French-Acadian dictionary <https://leptitaurele.neocities.org/>, I am redesigning the way of retrieving matching words per words tiddler (organized by letter of the alphabet, so a tiddler for words starting with letter "a", a tiddler for words starting with letter "b", etc. etc. I decided that I needed a global macro to do the job of getting all relevant words for each list of words tiddler, so that I can code <<GetWords a>> to get all of the words starting with "a", <<GetWords b>> to get all of the words starting with "b", etc. etc. Should be easy enough with a filter that takes the macro parameter and yields results of things like [prefix[a]], [prefix[b]], etc. But [prefix[a]] won't catch words starting with accented a's ( â or à ). [sort[]] has the smarts to treat accented a's as equal to "a", so sorting works A-1. So for your perusal, the code I've come up with that works quite sweetly with the macro call <<GetWords "àâa">> : \define lb() [ \define rb() ] \define GetWords(FirstLetterOptions) <$vars letterList={{{ [[$FirstLetterOptions$]split[]addprefix<lb>addprefix[prefix]addsuffix<rb>addprefix<lb>addsuffix<rb>join[ ]addsuffix[ +]addsuffix<lb>addsuffix[sort]addsuffix<lb>addsuffix<rb>addsuffix<rb>] }}}> @@.multicol <$list variable="thisTiddler" filter=<<letterList>>> <$link to=<<thisTiddler>>/><br> </$list> @@ </$vars> \end And the CSS for multicol : /* MULTI COLUMN MODE */ .multicol { display:block; -moz-column-count:4; -moz-column-gap:1em; -webkit-column-count: 4; -webkit-column-gap:1em; } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
