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

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.
