Properties of non-properties in the containing loops can be accessed by immediately following the property statement with a level number and a semicolon:

:property local name;levelNumber

E.g. :Documentation;1 refers to the Documentation property of the object in the loop immediately containing the current loop.

The level number can be used as a suffix on many other commands that output information about the current element, e.g. id. If no level number is specified the default is 0, the current loop. Note that outside of all the loops the current element is the element (normally a graph) the generator is being run on. Negative level numbers can also be used: –1 is the element (normally a graph) the generator is being run on, –2 the element of the outermost loop, etc. In generators in symbols, the stack is pre-loaded with the graph and the element whose symbol is being displayed. In identifier generators, the stack is pre-loaded with the element whose identifier is being generated.
