Using rept?

[cshumack at bellsouth.net]

I have a need to separately list the same child unit multiple times
under a parent. I am using rept to do this. However, I need to
automatically include 2 of these child units as a minimum with a
maximum of 3. I can get it to include one child with the 2 repeats,
but I cannot get it to populate 2 of the child unit on separate lines
automatically. Can anyone assist?

There is currently no way that I know of to force "rept" to generate
multiple child units automatically (i.e. there is no "min" value
available). I believe that Colen wrestled with this issue at one point, so
maybe he's got a great idea on how to solve this one. Colen?

Thanks, Rob

I wouldn't say "great", more like adequate

IIRC, you do it this way. Let's say you need to take 2-4 units. Give
the option the following attributes:

rept:someunit@2
unit:someunit@var
unit:someunit@var

Like that. Does that help?
