I am trying to restart a named auto number stream in beta 2.9.0.23. This is my test:
<$n:figure:figureName1>
<$n:figure:figureName2>
<$n:figure:figureName3>
<$rst_figure>
<$n:figure:figureName4>
I was expecting the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 1 to end up in the compiled document but instead, I am getting 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Is this a bug? Or is there another way one is supposed to use to reset the figure counter as seen above?
No answer when I contacted support. No answer here. Is there any way to get help with this software?
Regarding the support email, check your spam filters, or maybe they’re just very busy, and you haven’t reached the top of the queue.
As for the reset… I personally don’t need to do that often, but I know that if you are just using <$n>, then the syntax is <$rst_n>. So wouldn’t the syntax for your custom figure reset be <$rst_n:figure> ? Or something similar?
The primary support venue for the beta is this forum.
Like most businesses, we are less responsive over the weekend.

The auto-number stream reset code isn’t implemented yet. You can also see an example of this when using some of the the Paperback format’s Layouts, which include a scene reset token in the chapter heading.
Thanks. I can’t wait for the final release.
