Re: Adding fixed text to a single chapter's page numbering
Thank you for the kind words and support for my auto-numbering paper, which is a decade old now and was current as of FM version 6 where the $chapnum and $volnum numbering variables were introduced. I'm quite pleased to see that it is still a valuable and useful reference. Thankfully, little has changed, although I know one thing that the paper misstates: the series label to identify different numbering sequences can be any single printable character, not just any upper- or lower-case letter, so there are far more that just 53 different series of numbering streams possible in a FM document. While I haven't been associated with INFOCON since late 2008, I try to keep up with this list even if I'm not an active FM user in my present job (where I'm not even involved with the documentation group.)

What you're describing sounds correct. So what's not correct? What blanks do you need to have filled? Richard G.

Keeping the conversation on the list allows others to benefit from it -- or to correct me if I tell you something stupid. :-) I see now what I missed before. You're hard-coding the A into the master pages instead of using the chapter number ($chapnum) variable. A better approach would be to put $chapnum-# in the footers. In Numbering Properties (via the book window, not in the file), set Chapter # for the appendix either to 1 and ALPHABETIC (N) or to A and Text. To make the TOC work, first of all, you need to be using a different paragraph format for the appendix title than for the chapter titles. Let's say it's called AppendixTitle. That's so that the generated TOC uses a different paragraph format for that entry, in this case AppendixTitleTOC. Then, in the reference page TOC flow, you just need to add the chapter number variable to the AppendixTitleTOC entry where appropriate. For instance, it might look like this (\t is a tab): $chapnum \t $paratext \t\t\t$chapnum-$pagenum In the generated TOC, that would look something like this: A Title text of appendix ..A-1 Of course, you can omit the $chapnum before the title, precede it with Appendix, or whatever.
