[Framers] Running H/F variable challenge

[Pat Christenson]

Hi Grant –

I tried that and it was ignored in the header as well.

Looks like I’m going with 3 thin spaces. They produce the right amount of space and work in text and header.

Thanks, everyone.

Try adding a non-breaking space after the text in the Exercise\ <n+>:[non-breaking space]

Hi Fred -

Yes, I tried that but then it includes the space when the header is referencing a Heading2 and I can't use that.

However, I seem to be having some success by replacing the space after the colon in the autonumber with 3 thin spaces. Go figure.

Thanks.

Have you tried including a space between the building blocks in the two variables in the Running H/F variable definition? In other words, either a regular space or a non-breaking space (typed with a backslash preceding the space) between the > and the <.

I need a Running H/F variable to work as follows:

If there's a Heading2, pull the text (such as Overview). If there's an exercise head, pull the exercise number and the text. Heading2 paras don't have an autonumber. Exercises number like this: Exercise\ <n+>: (with a space after the colon)

So the Running H/F variable should read either Overview or Exercise 2: Create a data point

I've defined the variable as <$paranum[Exercise,Heading2><$paratext[Exercise,Heading2]>

It works perfectly except for one thing. I can't get the space after the colon in the autonumber to appear in the header. Instead, it looks like this:
Exercise 2:Create a data point

I've tried using a non-breaking space after the colon in the autonumber but that doesn't work either.

Help is appreciated.
