Template that augments the counter parser function so that its output can be part of a sorted table.
Usage:
{{ hcount | countername }}
where countername is the name of the counter being used. Place this template in each cell of a given column. The usage of this tempalte is similar to that of {{hcount}} although the extended functionality of #count is also available (and note that brackets denote optional parameters):
{{ hcount | countername [ | initial value ] [ | increment ] }}
IMPORTANT:
Please be sure to first reset the counter before making any calls to this template in order to a sufficiently high enough by using the {{hreset}} template:
{{hreset | countername}}
This ensures that the table is sorted correctly (in proper numerical order). For more information on using {{hreset}} please read the documentation for {{hcount}}.
Technical Information:
- vcount creates two separate counters, one for the hidden count, another for the visible count (i.e. counter1 and counter1_visible). In other words, the template appends "_visible" to the counter name specified in the first parameter.
