[TYPO3] Math in TypoScript

[Bertalan Fodor]

Yes, you are right, it is not necessary, only would be useful. Because 
in extension templates with different croppings, without this math, I 
have to define four variables (xoffset, yoffset, xoffset2, yoffset2), 
where xoffset2 and yoffset2 are always are the same relative to xoffset 
and yoffset, however, with the math I'd just need to define two.
