--- Comment #9 from [email protected] --- (In reply to ajlittoz from comment #8) > What is requested is an E# *entry number* containing the label (Figure > Table, Drawing, …) and the number. And it looks it is already available > because we can vary what is inserted in the table with the Display menu: On the "Type" tab. > So E# could collect what is designated by Category and Number, E be > restricted to Caption Text instead of present References. But now you are referring to the Entries tab, no? At present, if there is no "E" on the Entries tab, then the settings in Display (on the Type tab) have no effect (i.e., nothing is displayed). In other words, at present "E" simply displays whatever is selected on the Type tab. It seems preferable to collect all the formatting onto the Entries tab, for example with: CT = Caption Text C = Category C# = Category Number (plus CI = Chapter Info) Then E is not needed (and "Display" on "Type" is not needed). A predefined structure would probably have a common configuration: C C# CT [e.g., Figure (C) 1 (C#): My figure here (CT) ] and then users can edit/configure according to their needs. This description seems to be what is needed in the OP. And it would also be a solution to bug 94966. (Alternatively, adding a "Number only" to the Display dropdown would also be a solution). For now, these proposals are meant only to clarify what capabilities are desired in the UI. (Side comment: this seems "bad" to have structure design both on the Type tab and Entries tab -- hard to keep track. And as you pointed out in bug 134781, it is rather pointless to have both Index of Tables and Index of Figures in the UI, given that each can be created from the other. While the "from Objects" is a different story, providing a "predefined" version of what can be achieved in User-defined). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
