^descendants^
Tells Tinderbox to include the descendants of the current note (or agent) in the current web page using their default template file.
^descendants( template )^
Tells Tinderbox to include the descendants of the current note (or agent) in the current Web page using the specified template file.
^descendants( template,N )^
Tells Tinderbox to include only the first N descendants of the current note (or agent) with the specified template file. If N is used without a template, a comma must be placed before N. In finding N matches, the first branch is to its tip, then all siblings then recursing up branch #1's sub-branches before starting branch #2.
To export immediate children but not the children's descendants, see ^children( template )^. This replaces the old usage of ^children^.
^descendants^ evaluates its template argument, allowing agents and containers to use expressions like
^descendants(^value($MyTemplate)^)^
The HTMLDontExport settings of children are respected.
