Hi All,
As there is a lot to do about background groups may be this is the
right time to ask about a completely undocumented feature (at least I
cannot find any reference to it (and I know this is not a reference
either :-))
< put the number of backgrounds > is different from (though the docs
state group and background as equivalent) < put the number of groups >
"put the number of groups" : will report the total number of groups
on the current card (and not in the complete stack if it is a
multicard stack)
"put the number of backgrounds" : will report the number of groups
to be found at cardlevel of a complete stack (one or multicard stack).
in a 1 card stack:
- If there are several groups it will report the number of
groups, whether the backgroundbehavior is set or not
- if there is a group in a group in a ....... it will be
counted as 1 group
in a multicard stack:
- it will report the total number of groups at cardlevel in that
stack
3 groups on each of 2 cards without backgroundbehavior set
to true will be reported as 6 groups
- if the backgroundproperty of a group is set to true it will be
counted only once
3 groups on each of 2 cards with backgroundbehavior of 1
group set to true will be reported as 5 groups
Can anyone confirm this?
TIA
Greetings,
Wouter
