The input of a run is normally a list of all the non-[[shadow|ShadowTiddlers]] tiddler titles in the wiki (in no particular order). But the `+` prefix can change this:
|Prefix|Input|h

Precisely because of varying inputs, be aware that both prefixes `-` and `+` do not behave inverse to one another!
