A <<.def "filter expression">> is the outermost level of the [[filter syntax|Filter Syntax]]. It consists of one or more [[runs|Filter Run]].
|
|
|
|
A run's input 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.
|
|
|
|
* If a run has no `+` or `-` prefix, its output titles are [[dominantly appended|Dominant Append]] to the filter's output.
|
|
* If a run has a `-` prefix, its output titles are <<.em removed>> from the filter's output (if they were present).
|
|
* If a run has a `+` prefix, it receives the filter's output so far as its input. The filter's output is then completely <<.em replaced>> by the run's output. Any subsequent run reverts to receiving all tiddler titles as its input, unless it too has a `+` prefix.
