The timeline macro produces a list of tiddlers in reverse chronological order of modification date that is grouped by the date of the day of modification.

! Parameters

|!Position |!Name |!Description |!Default |
|1st |limit |The maximum number of tiddlers to list |100 |
|2nd |format |A DateFormat string for formatting the date |DDth MMM YYYY |
|3rd |subfilter |A subfilter to include in the timeline filter (see below)  | |

The subfilter and limit parameters are spliced into the filter string like this:

```
[!is[system]$subfilter$has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[$limit$]eachday[modified]]
```

To restrict the timeline to a particular tag, the subfilter can be set to something like `tag[mytag]`:

```
<<timeline limit:10 subfilter:"tag[mytag]">>
```

! Examples

```
<<timeline limit:30 format:"DD/MM/YYYY">>
```

Renders as:

<<timeline limit:30 format:"DD/MM/YYYY">>
