This pages describes features, codes or syntax whose use is now DEPRECATED, i.e. not advised either for new or continued pre-existing use.

Deprecated aspects of Tinderbox may be supported on a legacy basis but the latter support can't be presumed to be indefinite. Therefore you should update your active TBX documents to latest practice as soon as practical.

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

^sum( group , attribute[, precision] )^

Returns the sum of the attribute values for all the notes within the group.

An optional third argument precision lets you set the number of decimal points that are exported by the numeric group markup elements(^sum^, ^min^, ^max^, ^mean^, ^count^). Note that precision is always the third argument.

Internally, the sum() operator may be used.
