count

Count

Number of specific objects that appear in the document.

Remarks

What is Being Counted: This attribute holds the number of objects being counted. The type of objects being counted is indicated in two different ways, depending on what is being counted. For the precombined count elements (e.g., <fig-count>, <word-count>. etc.) the element name on which this attribute occurs indicates what is being counted (figures, words, etc.). For non-precombined counted objects, for example, the number of related standards or non-normative references, the @count-type attribute names what is being counted.

Used on these Elements:

<count>, <equation-count>, <fig-count>, <page-count>, <ref-count>, <table-count>, <word-count>
ValueMeaning
Counting numberThe number of objects being counted, for example, “5” for five tables or five figures.
RestrictionThis attribute is required; it must be provided if the element is used.
