8.5.5.3 Numbering chapters, figures,
and tables
The following settings configure the numbering properties
of chapter, figure, and table titles.
Paragraph format definitions:
[ChapterTitle]
number = ChapterNum
[FigureTitle]
number = FigureNum
[TableTitle]
number = TableNum
Number format component definitions:
[ChapterStream]
counters = 8
counter types = Num
[ChapterNum]
stream = ChapterStream
counter = 1
position = start
form = <name/> <counter1/>.<tab/>
[FigureNum]
stream = ChapterStream
counter = 6
keep = 7 8
form = <i><name/> <counter1/>-<counter6/> <tab/>
[TableNum]
stream = ChapterStream
counter = 7
keep = 8
form = <i><name/> <counter1/>-<counter7/> <tab/>
In this example, all three formats are assigned to
the same stream, and all three number series use Arabic numerals:
- ChapterNum has counter number
1. Because FigureNum and TableNum have counters with
higher numbers, by default the numbering of FirgureTitle and TableTitle
will be reset every time a new instance of ChapterTitle appears
in the output.
- FigureNum has counter number
6. To prevent the numbering of TableTitle from
being reset every time FigureTitle appears,
FigureNum assigns the keep property to counter
7.
- TableNum has counter 7.
To prevent the numbering of whatever format has counter 8 from being
reset every time TableTitle appears,
TableNum assigns the keep property to counter
8.
