Difference between list and counter

Blackadder — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 06:35:06 GMT

Hello All,

one question as to the difference between the <counter> and the <list> element. Am I correct that the counter is in every respect a boiled-down version of the list or can things be done with a counter that cannot be achieved with a list?

Bye, Malte

Thanks a lot, Dave. For our video introduction to Inquisit, we'll only cover lists, then.

Best wishes, Malte

Oh, BTW, I just spotted a bug in the forum software. Obviously you cannot use < or > in a posts topic.
Sorry!

<list> supersedes and replaces <counter> in Inquisit 4. There is nothing a <counter> can do that a <list> cannot. The <counter> element is still present and works in Inquisit 4 for backwards-compatibility with Inquisit 3 scripts. For anything specifically targeting Inquisit 4, use of <list> is recommended.
