Is there a way to check a page counter in the styledesc?


I'm trying to do this:


<specval attname="wpfolioct.txt" attloc="#FOSI" attval="#GT#\0\"> or


<specval attname="wpfolioct.txt" attloc="#FOSI" attval="#NONZERO">


but I'm getting a message that the content of wpfolioct.txt can't be retrieved.

    Pagedesc variables and styldesc variables are mostly kept separate. Also, note that textids are evaluated as strings not numbers.

    You can test a counter in the pagedesc using a pseudo-element in the styldesc, and output gentext, for example. But you can't use the pseudo-element to change the value of a styldesc variable.

    And vice versa.











    What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    Hi Suzanne, I didn't want to change any values, just test whether the counter was >0 which would affect how I was building a string. But as it turned out I didn't need to check the counter anyway.
