<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src="""<$setmultiplevariables $names="[[HelloThere]fields[]addprefix[demo-]]" $values="[[HelloThere]fields[]] :map[[HelloThere]get<currentTiddler>]">
<ol>
<$list filter="[variables[]prefix[demo-]sort[]]">
<li>
''<$text text={{{ [<currentTiddler>removeprefix[demo-]] }}}/>'': <$text text={{{ [<currentTiddler>getvariable[]] }}}/>
</li>
</$list>
</ol>
</$setmultiplevariables>"""/>
