I am using Level 2 folders for chapters, and Level 3 folders for sections. I want to reset the numbering of the sections in each chapter.
My Level 3 settings look like this:
<$R>.
According to my reading of the documentation, this should work for my Level 2 settings:
<$rst_R>Chapter <$t:chapter>:
But that doesn’t work. The sections numbers aren’t reset between chapters. I can do this:
<$rst><$R>Chapter <$t:chapter>:
And that resets the <$R> but it also puts a section number before the word “Chapter” which I don’t want.
My workaround is to use this for my Level 3 settings:
<$R:section>.
And this for Level 2:
<$rst_section>Chapter <$t:chapter>:
There are two problems with this workaround.
First, in the Compile window where it shows the preview of the auto-numbering outcome it displays this:
<$rst_section>Chapter One: Title
Shouldn’t that “<$rst_section>” be hidden in the preview just like the “<$rst_R>” and “<$rst><$R>” were hidden?
Second, the workaround shouldn’t be necessary at all because “<$rst_R>” should work. According to the documentation, “Alternatively, you can place <$rst_X> anywhere in the text, replacing the “X” with the letter used in the auto-numbering tag you wish to restart. E.g. <$rst_R> would restart the uppercase Roman numeral auto-numbering from that point onwards.”
Thanks for listening!
