^siblings( ["start", "list-item-prefix", "list-item-suffix", "end"] )^

returns links to all the siblings of this note, i.e. the other children of the note's parent. Output is formatted in a single line, with colons between the elements.

If the optional start, list-item-prefix, list-item-suffix, end parameters are omitted then the default values of <ul>, <li>, </li>, </ul> are used. See more on altering list type or other HTML output.

This allows you to format the group of links as an HTML list or table in the exact format you want, where "start" is text that will be inserted before all of the links, "end" is text that will be inserted after all of the links, "list-item-prefix" is text that will be inserted before each link, and "list-item-suffix" is text that will be inserted after each link.

The $HTMLDontExport settings of siblings are respected.

Mark-up elements embedded in ^siblings^ are evaluated.

Exported links use the CSS class and target based on their underlying Tinderbox link values, if one is specified; the link type value is not picked up as a class name.

Item objects source and destination may be used in expressions to indicate from where data used within the expression's arguments is drawn.

The export is relative to current rather than this, facilitating work with included files.
