The reason is that I am writing a book. Each chapter has an appendix section. In summary, an appendix needs to relate directly to the subject. In addition, I aim to have chapters only about the topics I wish to discuss.
Consequently, any License and Copyright Documents would use a different numbering sequence different than for chapters or appendices. Naturally, I also have separate License and Copyright Documents sectioned as chapter and appendices too so I may use them as necessary in other documents I write. For the @unnumbered version, I would need a way to define the sectioning format so I can use them in different documents, but at the same time I can use the same @include ./license--unnumbered.texi This means that different documents can have different sectioning even though they may call the same ./license--unnumbered.texi ├── freelic │ ├── cc │ └── gnu │ ├── agpl--chapter.texi │ ├── agpl--appendix.texi │ ├── agpl--unnumbered.texi │ ├── gfdl--chapter.texi │ ├── gfdl--appendix.texi │ └── gfdl--unnumbered.texi > Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2019 at 7:05 PM > From: "Gavin Smith" <[email protected]> > To: "Christopher Dimech" <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [help-texinfo] User defined sectioning numbers when using > @unnumbered > > On Wed, Jan 02, 2019 at 06:32:33PM +0100, Christopher Dimech wrote: > > Dear Compeers, > > > > I am using an @unnumbered chapter so it displays in the contents section > > when I call @contents.
