Negating query

[lumio]

Hello everyone!

Maybe I have overlooked something, but I can't figure out how to negate a query when filtering figures to be outlined.

I am trying to achieve something like this:

= Figures
#outline(title: none, target: figure.whereNot(supplement: [Attachment]))

How can I filter out certain fields?

Thank you for your help!

It's unfortunately not possible currently. :/

You'd have to write an or selector for all figure kinds you want to include explicitly.

Thanks for your reply. The only workaround I can think of right now is to manually chain all existing supplements. However, this isn't foolproof either as it is language specific.

So what I did for now was to search for all supplement translations and then do this here:

  #outline(
    title: none,
    target: figure.where(supplement: [Listing])
      .or(figure.where(supplement: [Abbildung]))
      .or(figure.where(supplement: [Gleichung]))
      .or(figure.where(supplement: [Tabelle]))
  )

If there isn't a feature request yet, I'll create one :)

Thanks again @laurmaedje

It's better to select on the kind rather than the supplement. Then, it will not be language-dependant:

  #outline(
    title: none,
    target: figure.where(kind: raw)
      .or(figure.where(kind: image)
      .or(figure.where(kind math.equation)
      .or(figure.where(kind: table)
  )
