DEPRECATED - use ^value(any())^. See ^value^, any().

^any( group, attribute[, data] )^

A new family of HTML Export Markup Elements operates on groups of notes. Returns true if any member of the group has a value for the given attribute. Example:

^any(children, MyAttribute)^

Returns true if any of the group has a value for the attribute 'MyAttribute', and false otherwise. Always false if there are no members of group.

The extended syntax allows for an attribute value (data) to be tested. Example:

^any("children", $MyStatus, "Ready")^

Returns any child of the current note for whom the attribute 'MyStatus' has a value of 'Ready'.

The extended syntax for group operators applies only to ^any^ and ^every^.

Internally, the any() operator may be used.
