Template:Counter/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Counter. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template serves one function, which is to keep track of a counter on the page. Keep in mind that using ordered lists (starting a line of text with a #) is likely preferable over using this template in many situations.

The template takes an optional first parameter that specifies the (case-sensitive) counter name. This allows multiple parallel counters to be used on a single page. The default counter name is 0.

The template also takes a reset parameter which, when set to anything but no, will reset the counter. If this parameter is omitted this does not happen.

Example

<poem>
{{Counter}} {{Counter}} {{Counter}},
it's easy as {{Counter|reset=yes}} {{Counter}} {{Counter}},
as simple as {{Counter|foo}} {{Counter|foo}} {{Counter|foo}}.
That's how easy counters can be.
Limitless (even more than {{Counter}}{{Counter|foo}}{{Counter|Foo}}) possibilities!
</poem>

1 2 3,
it's easy as 1 2 3,
as simple as 1 2 3.
That's how easy counters can be.
Limitless (even more than 141) possibilities!
