I have been writing a number of service manuals for my client. One problem I have been having is numbering figures sequentially -- some will, some won't. The command line for autonumbering in the client's template is F:Figure < ><n+>.
For those that do not, I have to force the figure numbering, that is, manually renumber that figure to the number it should have. For example, F:Figure < ><n=5>. Then some downstream figures will number correctly, but then I may have two, three, or four consecutive figures with the same numbers. Also in the figure tag list for cross-referencing, figure numbers may be out of sequence, e.g. Figure 5 listed before Figure 4. Several other items that are numbered in the manual are certain headings (H:<n>.<n+> < =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>\t), items in lists (n:<n+>.\t) which also have a tag to start with 1 again (n:<n=1>.\t), and procedural steps (<n=1>.\t and <n+>.\t). Tables are not numbered. Although manually renumbering figures solves the problem, as you are aware, it creates other numbering problems if a figure is removed in the future. any insights about how to resolve t his issue?
