I had to duplicate an existing page layout with the chapter number above the title. My goal was to make the paragraph tags compatible with Word, Confluence 4 XHTML, and MindTouch XHTML for cleaner export.
Autonumber for the chapter title paragraph tag (in my template, Heading1) increments the chapter counter but does not display the number: C:<n+> On the chapter-first master page, create a separate text frame for the chapter number, not connected to any flow. Put a Running H/F # variable in that text frame with definition: <$paranumonly[Heading1]> TOC reference page definition: Chapter <$paranum>: <$paratext> \t <$pagenum> On the chapter-first master page, I also have a separate text frame for the chapter title, connected to the main flow, since that was in the existing page layout, but I don't think that's necessary. I don't break chapters into separate .fm files, so I have to use Apply Master Pages when updating the book. If you split chapters into separate files, that might not be necessary.
