Introduction

This template is a self incrementing counter.

It is better not to use this template in function templates, otherwise it may cause confusion in the counter id saved by this template.

Please refer to {{counter}} or {{iCounter}} for template counters.

Usage

1. Initialization

{{n|init=1|id=an id, unique, "n.default" as default}}

{{n|init}}         <!-- This form with default value 1 -->

Must be initialized before use, the initialization will output the passed value of parameter "init".

2. Using

{{n|id=counter id, last called id as default; if omitted id when initializing, "n.default" as default}}
{{n|noecho}}       <!-- Increase the count without output -->
