Using Cycle Size and Offset
Use Cycle Size and Offset to specify different formatting for children of the layout. The two fields together work as an ax + b expression, where:
ais the cycle size,xis the current cyclebis the offset.
For example, to apply the CSS formatting:
- to the 5th child only, leave the Cycle Size empty and set the Offset to 5.
- alternate children, starting with the second, (2, 4, 6...) set the Cycle Size to 2 and the Offset to 2.
- not format the first 10 items, but then format every 3rd child (i.e. 11,14,17...), set the Cycle Size to 3 and the Offset to 11.
