Typicla auto numbering problem, Frame10 Unstructured

[Les Smalley]

Hi Anirae!

If I read your message corrrectly, you want to have the figure numbers (and possibly also table numbers) increment  from 1 within each major section of the chapter containing them, and not interfere with or be altered by possible multiple levels of sub-sections.  The major section does reset them to start at one again.


For this to work, the figures, tables and headings will have to be in the same numbered series (e.g. F: or H:) but you also need to use placeholders - the empty building block < > (which does not alter, nor show the value) -  for counters that should not be affected.

One suggestion is to create a grid of your numbering needs, so you can more easily see where you need to use the various types of numbering building block - display only (e.g. <n>), incrementing (e.g. <n+>) or ignoring (< > and note the space between the less-than and greater-than symbols)


Here is how I would setup your formats, assuming only three levels of headings (as per your example).  I've added a counter for tables as well, so there are 5 total numbering positions.

H:<n+>                1 Heading (increment 1st level heading, reset all lower-level numbers: figures,
                                 tables and sub-headings)


H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >   Figure 1-1 (show current heading #, increment figure #, don't change table or
                                  sub-headings)

H:<n>< >< >.<n+>      1.1 Heading (display current heading #, don't change figure or table #,
                                   increment 1st subhead and reset lower sub-heading)

H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >   Figure 1-2

H:<n+>                2 Heading 


H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >   Figure 2-1


H:<n>.< ><n+>< >< >   Table 2.1  (show current heading #, don't change figure #, increment table #,
                                  don't change sub-headings)

H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >   Figure 2-2


H:<n>< >< >.<n+>      2.1 Heading


H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >   Figure 2-3


H:<n>< >< >.<n>.<n+>  2.1.1 Heading(display current heading #, don't change figure or table,
                                     show 1st subhead and increment lower sub-heading)

H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >   Figure 2-4

and so forth.  As I'm not completely clear on how you are using either the $VolNum or $ChapNum variables (or corresponding numbering building blocks,) I have not shown those, and trust that this example will get you on the right path fairly quickly.

Framers,

Back on Frame after several years of being forced to use inferior products. The hang of it is returning, but I have a strange auto numbering issue. Hope you can help. 

The figure numbering for the chapter breaks when I add auto numbered figures and tables. 

Several files in the book. Each file is actually its own manual, and I want the book to see each as a volume (Vol 1, 2, 3, etc.). That's working OK. I want each file to start with chapter t after the preliminary pages (Title page and TOC). The Book is set up as follows:
1st file : 
Volume: #1
Chapter: #1  (If I make this Read from File it doesn't change anything)

All other files: 
Volume: Continue numbering from previous file in book.
Chapter: Read from File

Headings are H:Heading1, H:Heading2, etc.

If figure format is H:Figure<sectionnum>\t<n+>, I get:

2 Heading 
2.1 Heading 
Figure 1-5
Figure 1-6
1.6 Heading
Figure 1-7
really messed up

If figure format is F:Figure<n>\t<n+>, I get:
It does not recognize Heading 1 as <n> but Heading numbers are not influenced by inserting numbers, but the figures do not adopt the section number:

2.3 heading
Figure 1-3
Figure 1-4
2.3.1 Heading
Figure 1-6

If figure format is H:Figure<n>\t<n+><>.\t (as suggested by a post from some sight), I get:

1 Heading
Figure 0-1
Figure 0-2
2 Heading
Figure 0-3
2.3 Heading 
Figure 0-4
2.3.1 Heading
Figure 0-5

What should I do to get:

1 Heading
Figure 1-1
1.1 Heading
Figure 1-2
2 Heading
Figure 2-1
Figure 2-2
2.1 Heading
Figure 2-3
2.1.1 Heading
Figure 2-4
and so forth

Thank you!
