Aha! Thank you, Nicolas and Richard. I missed this in the earlier reply. 
I'll read up on it. Looks like a very powerful feature.


Thanks!

This might not be exactly what you want, but it's pretty trivial to do
this with CSS.  In your stylesheet, you want something like (untested):

span.section-number-2:before { content: "Chapter" }

Basically, this tells the browser to put the word "Chapter" before the
number of a first-level headline (which, in a default setup, is exported
as a span tag with class section-number-2).

If you'd rather that "Chapter" appears in the actual HTML, you probably
want to use a filter on headlines during export.

Hope that helps!
Yes, thanks, Richard! This will certainly work for this occasion. It 
would be great to find a way to do this through org in future, for 
documents that keep changing, but this will work for now.


Thanks!

It occurred to me that another way to get this effect might be with numbered 
lists:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
 * Chapter 1 Blah
   1. blah
   2. blah blah
   3. blah blah blah
 * Chapter 2 Blah Blah
   1. blah
   2. blah blah
#+END_SRC

and so on. Is there any way to get numbered lists to use a "." notation, where 
the path to each list item is indicated by
.-separated numbers?

 1
 1.1
 1.2
 1.2.1
 ...


Thanks, and Happy New Year!

[O] Getting "Chapter" before a heading number

2016-12-29 Thread Peter Davis

I'm preparing a proposed table of contents for a book, and I'd like the HTML 
output to appear like:

Chapter 1 Blah
  1.1 blah
  1.2 blah blah
  1.3 blah blah blah

Chapter 2 Blah Blah
  2.1 blah
  2.2 blah blah

etc.

Is there a way to get HTML output to do this? I'd like the "*" at the start of 
a line to denote a new chapter, and nested headings
to go inside. I haven't been able to find anything like this.

Thanks very much, and Happy New Year to all!
