Appendixes - two problems creating appendixes

Post by RobertNorledge »

I am having two problems adding an appendix to the Flare document I am updating.

First problem - the numbering

I need two levels of heading for the appendix. These are referred to as Appendix and Appendix02.

I need an auto number format that will display:
Appendix N <text> for the top level, and
Appendix N.N <text> for the remaining levels.

I have used:
mc-auto-number-format:'Appendix' '{n=1}{ =0} '; for the first appendix and
mc-auto-number-format:'Appendix' '{n+}{ =0} '; for any remaining appendixes.

This has two problems:
- I have to create two top level appendix entries, which should not be necessary.
- It does not reset the counter for the second level (Appendix02).
This means that I will need to have a different 'Appendix02' for each appendix.
This is not a problem for this document as I only have one appendix. But it will be clumsy for the future.

Does anybody know an mc-auto-number-format that will give what I need for both heading levels in the appendix?

Second problem - the bookmarks panel

When I generate a PDF from the Flare source, it does not display the Appendix entry in the Bookmarks panel on the left.

Robert, check out this thread, which offers the solution for the numbering: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16989

For the Bookmark panel issue, make sure that your definition of the h1.Appendix does not show mc-heading-level: 0. That would keep that heading out of the Bookmark (as well as out of the generated table of contents, assuming you include one). Well, I'm assuming you're using a heading class such as h1.Appendix.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!
