Item11359: FORMATLIST cannot count with empty format string

%FORMATLIST{"One,Two,Three" format="" footer="$count"}%

I'm not sure, if this is a feature request or a bug report. I'd like to count items in a list via FORMATLIST. This works perfectly, if format="$1" or the like but not, if the output is empty.

The above %FORMATLIST will produce an empty list which isn't displayed by default. Try this instead

%FORMATLIST{"One,Two,Three" format="<!-- -->" separator="" footer="$count"}%

Already thought about it. The ouput of FORMATLIST is the input of another macro, and even simple spaces are too noisy.

Fixed in latest release.
