A simple counter that starts counting at 1 at the top of the page, and each time it is invoked, will increase its value by one. These counters are transient, and relative to the current page view only - i.e. two persons viewing the same page at the same time get their own counters.
The current counter value is accessible also as a WikiVariable. The name of the variable is "counter", or "counter-<name>", if you have defined a counter name.
Here are a few examples:
| Specified value | Result on page | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| [{Counter}], [{Counter}], [{Counter}], [{Counter name='aa'}] | 1, 2, 3, 1 | The value of "counter" at the end is 3 and the value of "counter-aa" is 1. |
| [{$counter}], [{$counter-aa}] | 3, 1 | - |
| .[{Counter showResult=false}]. [{Counter}]. | ..5. | the first result(4) is not visible, the second is visible |
| [{Counter start=15}] [{Counter}] | 15 16 | set the offset to 15 and start counting |
| [{Counter }] [{Counter increment=10}] | 17 27 | the second invocation increases with the specified value of 10 |
