I have run into a really weird problem.
In one of my EDDs I recently changed a WarnNote element (due to the
fact that I never finished it properly in the first place as I wanted
to see what we would be needing in the future) so that it can include
numbered notes without using a List element. The WarnNotes can be of
different types set as attributes and almost all types can be
numbered.
The WarnNote includes one or more NoteItem only, and here I set the
counter W: to 0.
I have tried to have the NoteItem element to include either (<TEXT> |
Para | List | Emphasise | XRef) or skipping the <TEXT> | part, but the
results are the same.
The numbering works unless I add an extra Para element (after <TEXT>
or Para), in which cases the counter seems to be set to zero again, so
the next NoteItem is numbered as 1. If I use a List instead of a Para
and add more than one Para in the ListItem, It has no effect on the
numbering.
There is no numbering at all built into the Para element, conditional or not.
I have a similar setup in the List element, but with less options in
attributes, and I have no such problems there.
Here is a commented snippet of my present EDD. Can anyone tell me what
I am doning wrong?
WarnNote can be a regular note or warning.
It consists of one or more NoteItem Different frmatting rules are set
depending on whether it apears in a Section or anywhere else (like in
ListItem).<<<

NoteItem is the child of a WarnNote. It can take a pure TEXT or a
Para or a List or the Emphasize element. Here we set the numbering
properties.
REMEMBER: Calls for Character Format Tag "Note" which uses color "Note"!!!
Create these formats in each file.
Color "Note" is originally set to C=0% M=100% Y=100% K=10%.<<<
