Update ActionListopsWidget documentation including notes on de-duplication (#7301)
* Changed headings under Content

Made them H2 and changed the wording a bit.

* Move the list of filters to another tiddler

There is a tiddler for Extended Listops Filters, and the list should go there, so that the Widget tiddler does not get too overcrowded.

* Rework comparison to ActionSetFieldWidget

* Add notes on de-duplication

* Update link to Extended Listops Filters

* Updated link to Extended Listops Filters

* Update link to Extended Listops Filters

Duh. This was the most important one.

* Remove repeated links to widgets within one section

* Re-create original tiddler with a redirect notice

* Excised the examples into a separate tiddler

Also created an "examples" subdirectory under tw5.com/tiddlers/widgets.

! Introduction
A number of filters are used to manipulate lists.
Some filters are designed to move items from the tail of the list and insert them at specified locations in the list, e.g. [[putafter|putafter Operator]] or [[putbefore|putbefore Operator]]. Items are often appended to the list before using these filters. In general, these filters accept a suffix specifying the number of items to move (default to 1.)
Some filters are designed to either add or remove from the list, a selected range of items from an array, e.g. [[append|append Operator]] or [[remove|remove Operator]]. These filters are best used with a reference to an array, stored in a field or data index elsewhere in the wiki (they may be used with a simple list of items, provided the items do not include white space.) In general, these filters accept a suffix specifying the number of items to move (default to All.)

! Examples
In this example we shall populate the '~DataIndex' index of the tiddler '~MyData' with the names of the days of the week, then clear this list.
<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src="""<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $filter="[list[Days of the Week]]"/>
Get days-of-the-week
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $filter="[[]]"/>
Clear
</$button>
{{ListopsData}}"""/>
---
In this example we shall slice the populated list from the 'DaysOfTheWeek' index of the tiddler '~MyData' in order to insert items before and after a marker item (Wednesday) that are first appended to the list.
<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src="""<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="one two +[putbefore:2[Wednesday]]"/>
Put 2 Items Before Wednesday
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="four five +[putafter:2[Wednesday]] three +[putbefore[Wednesday]]"/>
Put One Item Before & Two Items After Wednesday
</$button>
{{ListopsData}}"""/>
---
In this example we shall slice the populated list from the 'DaysOfTheWeek' index of the tiddler '~MyData' in order to replace the marker item (Wednesday) with items which are first appended to the list. We shall then move 3 items to the head of the list which have first been appended to the list from referenced fields.
<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src="""<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="[[---o]] [[o---]] +[replace:2{!!marker}]"/>
Replace '!!marker' with 2 Items
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="[{!!item1}] [{!!item2}] [{!!item3}] +[putfirst:3[]]"/>
Put 3 Items First
</$button>
{{ListopsData}}"""/>
---
In this example we shall slice the populated list from the 'DaysOfTheWeek' index of the tiddler '~MyData' in order to append to the truncated list, items from a referenced field. We shall then remove the first two of the items added.
<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src="""|list: |<$view field="list"/> |
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="+[allbefore:include[Wednesday]] +[prepend{!!list}]"/>
Prepend '!!list' to items before 'Wednesday'
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="+[remove:2{!!list}]"/>
Remove first two items in '!!list' from current list
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="+[!remove:1{!!list}]"/>
Remove last item in '!!list' from current list
</$button>
{{ListopsData}}"""/>
---
In this example we shall populate the list with numbers, then move items one by one from the head to the tail and from the tail to the head (best seen by clicking the lower buttons several times.)
This example illustrates that the append[] and prepend[] operators do not enforce unique instances of an item and that, with the next run, any duplicates are removed.
<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src="""<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $filter="[[]]" $subfilter="+[append:3{!!numbers}]"/>
Setup some numbers
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="+[!append:6{!!numbers}]"/>
Append more numbers
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="+[putfirst:2[]]"/>
Move last 2 items to the head
</$button>
<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="ListopsData" $index="DataIndex" $subfilter="+[putlast[]]"/>
Move the head to the last item
</$button>
{{ListopsData}}"""/>
