Heading Autonumbering Issues by Newbie

[catherinewijman]

hi all

so, I am new to Flare and kind of loving it, had a couple of days training and got a lot out of it but we did not get time to cover autonumbering headings - jeez, I get bits to work and others not.

I have tried with the chapnum and with GH.

I get confused with forume entries saying yes use GH but also use chapter break/don't use chapter break etc

I currently have the following:

h1
{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 150%;
margin-top: 1em;
mc-auto-number-format: 'GH:{n+} ';
mc-auto-number-position: inside-head;
}

h2
{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 130%;
margin-top: 1em;
mc-auto-number-format: 'GH:{n}.{n+} ';
mc-auto-number-position: inside-head;
}

h3
{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 120%;
margin-top: 1em;
mc-auto-number-format: 'GH:{n}.{n}.{n+} ';
mc-auto-number-position: inside-head;

I have also used outside frame

third issue - so not sure which I should be using for the position

second issue - I get the numbering to work for h1, h2, h3 in one chapter but I have to cut and paste all content into one page of my book. If I don't then I have my h1 one on page and my h2 etc on another page (which is how I originally loaded the clean word doc into flare) but h2 states 0.1. problem here then is that I have for example:

Introduction
Overview (which then becomes empty)
What is PLANet (which now is where my h2 and rest of that chapter 2 is so that the numbering works) (except for the h1 increments)

first issue - I cannot get my h1 to increment as 1, 2, etc

fourth issue - once I get a chapter to work and save it and then make a change in another or run a build to see how it looks, the whole thing loses what I have set in the mc's when I go back into it !!!

in the general tab i linked the fltoc (is this correct), in printed output do I use chapter Break, in Auto-numbers I have my first chapter set to Reset to: 1 with Format: decimal, then in second h1 chapter I use increment in chapter number, same as previous in volume (not sure I need volume

As I said, very new to this (FM girl originally), company paid for 2 days only training, been getting on fine until the numbering.

I have been doing it in default mode.

output eventually is going to be Online Help and PDF

I know it is something probably really stupid I am doing but boy does it get frustrating after a while.

thanks in advance to all
Catherine

Hi,

There are several options to use chapternumbering. It might become a bit confusion when you combine the options partially.

Have a look at this topic to see what I did, to get an idea how chaternumbers can be used:

There are a couple of things I can see here...

I prefer to create a generic style so I can still use my heading styles without autonumbering:

This is the style sheet:

And the xhtml:

Don't forget for your multilevel list to work across topics you will need to publish the project and view the output.
