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.
