Re: $volnum needs one numbering format in heading and different format in page number
In that case you would need to use two different numbering variables containing the same value, represented differently.

Re: $volnum needs one numbering format in heading and different format in page number
I question the rationale behind such a design. If the same information is represented differently in two different settings, you are surely going to create confusion rather than communication. Michael Lewis Department of Linguistics Macquarie University I'm working with a template that uses $volnum in section headings, where it is capital Roman (I, I, III...). $volnum is also used in page numbers in the footer, where it needs to be Arabic (1, 2, 3...). I'm pretty sure it is not possible to assign the same variable different numbering formats within a document. The only workaround that comes to mind is to use another variable in the page numbers, such as $chapnum and format it Arabic. Then instruct users that they must always ensure $volnum and $chapnum are in sync. Is there any other approach I'm simply not thinking of?
