[Framers] Numbering in an outline with numbers and small letters

Hi Tom,

Try something like this:

FigureLegend:
F:< >< ><n+>< =0>

FigureLegend_alpha:
F:< >< >< ><a+>

Without seeing the rest of the numbering, I am not sure if you need the
first two place holders (< >) in each one.

For a good understanding of FrameMaker autonumbers, you should watch my 20
minute video:

Then, watch this follow up video, which is about 16 minutes:

In just over a half-an-hour, you will be an autonumber expert!

Subject: [Framers] Numbering in an outline with numbers and small letters

This one has me stumped, and I have to believe that there is a pretty simple
solution that I'm overlooking.

I have a figure legend that has both numbered and lettered entries. Level
1 items are  numerals and Level 2 items are small letters. This works fine,
as long as the level 2 items are the last items in the ordered list. 
However, if the level 2 items happen to appear in the middle somewhere, such
as 1, 2, followed by a, b, and c, and then back to level 1 at 3, the
ordering doesn't pick back at 3. Instead, I get 6, as in 1, 2, a, b, c
(under 2), and 6.

What do I need to do to have that 3rd level 1 item number continue from the
last level 1 tag?

For reference, here is what I have for tag coding.

FigureLegend covers all level 1 numbers, as well as all that follow: F:< 
>< ><n+>.\t


FigureLegend_alpha covers the first level 2 item, indented slightly under
the level 1 item: F:< >< ><a+1>.\sn\t



FIgurelegend_alpa+ covers all level 2 items that follow the item tagged 
with the FigureLegend_alpha tag: F:< >< ><a+1>.\sn\t
