Issues with System.ChapterNumber variable

[todd.richardson]

Hello,

I'm working on a outline TOC for pdf output. For each chapter break, I'm using a single topic that contains the text "Chapter" and the System.ChapterNumber variable.

Capture of the Chapter.htm topic setup:


Capture of the Chapter.htm topic used repeatedly in the outline TOC:


I have set a new chapter break on each entry where the Chapter.htm topic introduces a new chapter in the TOC, and have set the Chapter Number for each break. However, when I generate the PDF, the Build Progress window shows the following errors:



A chapter in the pdf output looks like this:


Why isn't the System.ChapterNumber variable picking up the chapter number I specified for each chapter break? Am I missing a step?

You need separate chapter.htm files for each chapter. Otherwise the autonumbering will not work.

Thanks for the reply. After a little more trial, I figured out that was the issue.
