In this Tinderbox Meetup, we covered three topics: 1) a terms search and logging library developed by @satikusala (Becker) and @mwra, which as inspired by @rald in a Tinderbox Forum Post, 2) inspired by Art Currim, we discussed various options to use radar visualization to work on the project, and 3) Becker reviewed the lastest addition to interoperable 5Cs Tinderbox publishing system, a 5Cs Tables Library and Templates file, which empowers you to product tables form a list of notes and interject them into note within your Tinderbox project.

Note—Mystery Solved: near the end of the meetup, Becker was trying to debug a text parsing issue he was having. Three minutes after concluding the call, he figured it out. He was passing $Text to the exportString() operator when he should have been, as documented in aTbRef, passing a unique note designation (e.g., path, ID, name). As for the row span formatting, Becker has the solution; he just needs to implement it.

During the meeting and after my demo, I managed to implement the suggestion (kudos: @webline) that we could avoid the need for an eval() call by teasing out the term-testing into a function. That additional change is in the version of the ‘Parameter Search’ file as listed in the opening post above, i.e. it has some additions not seen in the main demo during the meet.
