returns a counter value according to the keyword extracted from the table; maintains count and hcount. Inserts a space character ahead of or so that, in the case of negative indexes, the negation operator is not mistaken for part of the wikitable markup. Returns: | - – a cell value instead of: |- – row markup with extraneous text

The keywords have the meanings: _row_count:			use row counter value (count); the hold counter (hcount) is same as count _row_count_hold:	use the value currently assigned to hcount; bump count but do not bump hcount
