Attribute Data Type:   action

Atrribute Group:   Map
Atrribute Purpose:   Action code

Attribute Read-Only?   No

A display of tabular information about a container's child notes in map icons is determined by the action attribute TableExpression. For example, if TableExpression is

 $Name+"|"+$WordCount

Tinderbox will draw a two-column table containing the Name and WordCount of the first few children of the container. The "|" character (often called a vertical bar or pipe) separates the columns of the table.

Optional column headings can be specified via TableHeading.

The expression code may be conditional. This lists all children with $Name and $Sibling order data displayed:

if($Prototype != "Attributes"){$Name+"|"+$SiblingOrder} 

This conditional version ignores any children that are agents:

if(!$AgentQuery){$Name+"|"+$SiblingOrder} 

This version only lists items of prototype type "Event":

if($Prototype += "Event"){$Name+"|"+$SiblingOrder} 


Possible relevant notes (via "Similar Notes" feature):
