This is something I assumed was possible until I started trying to implement it, and it seems it isn't, or I'm missing something.
What I want to do is have a cell display the number of big blinds that a starting stack comprises, eg. the starting stack is 20,000 and the first big blind is 100 so the starting stack is 200BB.
At first I used (<buyinChips>/bigBlind round="1">) but this just displays that text string (which I realised is the obvious expected behaviour.
Next I tried making a token with the same string but this doesn't work either.
Is there a way to do this? I could do it manually if course but I'd quite like it to calculate automatically.
Cheers
Joe

You can do this, to a certain degree, using the <expression> layout token. For example:
<expression text="defaultBuyinChips / bigBlind" format="number" precision="2">
However, the bigBlind variable refers to the current big blind. There's no way to specify the big blind for a particular round (you noted the first big blind).

Thanks Corey, I've implemented this now and it works. Having the calculation update with each round isn't what I originally had in mind but it works out OK as it informs players of what a rebuy stack will be worth in terms of blinds.
