Hello TBBETA,
evaluation of %pageNumber and %totalPages macros does not work when
used within an %if macro. More exactly: it seems that within an %if
macro, the %pageNumber and %totalPages macros are always producing
empty text only. The usual %if comparisons work correctly, assuming
this "expansion to empty text".
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Menu "Message", "Print setup", tab "General",
check "Print page numbers",
check "Use the specified template"
2. Try one of the page number templates listed below
3. Print a one-page and a multiple-page message
4. The printed pages contain output different from what you would
expect.
5. Try the following page number template:
%pageNumber/%totalPages
and verify that output is always correct
6. Try the following page number template:
%if:"x"=="x":"%date":"%time"
and verify that output is always correct (current date)
Page number templates that don't work:
%if:"x"=="x":"%pageNumber":"%totalPages"
%if:"x"=="y":"%pageNumber":"%totalPages"
%if:"%totalPages"<="1":"":"%pageNumber/%totalPages"
%if:"%totalPages"=="1":"":"%pageNumber/%totalPages"
%if:"%pageNumber">="%totalPages":"last page":"page %pageNumber"
%if:"%pageNumber"<="1":"first page":"page %pageNumber"
%if:"%pageNumber"=="1":"first page":"page %pageNumber"
BTW: What I'm trying to achieve is to print page numbers only for
multiple-page messages while suppressing them for one-page messages.
Maybe there is a workaround with regexps but nevertheless I think the
current behaviour is a bug which should be fixed.
Regards
Michael
