List tags that are linked to corresponding tiddlers

1

I want to insert a tag list that functions like the one under ‘More’ - each tag is a link to all tiddlers that are tagged with it. I’ve tried 50 different variations of the link-list macro but all the tags are linked to non-existent tiddlers…

How do I do this?

How do you want it to be different to the “tags tab” under more?

Perhaps you mean The list-links macro returns a formatted list of links to a selection of tiddlers.

More info needed, what are you doing?. Perhaps share your filter, or one we can use on TiddlyWiki.com

Notes:

  • Many tags do not actually have matching tiddlers, tags exist as soon as they are used as tags, and need not have a tiddler themself.
  • the list-links Macro is a convenience but perhaps using the $list widget is more direct.
<$list filter=" your filter ">

</$list>
  • If the result is a list of tags, you can use the tag pill to display them
<$list filter=" your filter ">
   <$macrocall $name=tag tag=<<currentTiddler>>/>
</$list>

I can share more once you explain a little more what you want

just trying to show all tags except for these two or three tags. But then I also need the tags to be links that drop down a list of tagged articles (like it does under More > Tags)

Right now I’m just doing this in a tiddler. Here is my current code

<div>
<<list-links filter:"[tags[]!is[system]]">>
</div>

So this gets me a list of all tags. I tried adding other macro parameters to filter out some tags but so far none of them have worked. Also, this macro produces a list where each tag is a link to an empty tiddler, instead of the way More > Tags behaves.

well, that solved the tag link part!

So, if <<list-links is a macro, what is <$list ???

Also, now how do I exclude a few tags from the list?

$list is a widget

Go to tiddlywiki.com and search for list-links or list widget to learn more.

Well you already are with [tags[]!is[system]] as you are excluding system tiddlers.
but you could do this [tags[]!is[system]] -[[thistag]] which would also exclude “thistag”

I think what you are asking for is the “Tag Pill” that on clicking a dropdown menu listing items so tagged - that is what my example <$macrocall $name=tag tag=<<currentTiddler>>/> does.
