Description

This macro is currently not available on Cloud.

Allows display of the "current" and "next" Child Counter value, as well as the ability to disable or reset the value if required.

When child counting is enabled for a page, the macro will keep track of how many children have been added to this page over time.

This is different to the "current page count", since it will not decrease when pages are deleted. This makes it useful for creating new pages with unique ID values which will never be duplicated.
