Re: [Framers] Paragraph numbering
When I was a trainer, I always showed the FM outline template example files in class, alongside the numbering pane of the paragraph designer. IOW, we went to the source. IIRC, web searches for FrameMaker auto numbering find good examples.

Re: [Framers] Paragraph numbering
In addition to Lynne's excellent explanation, I'd like to add that while you can leave the trailing placeholders out of your autonumber definitions, it is generally recommended that they be used so that you have a visual reminder of how many characters are included. This becomes really important when you try to set up a single series to handle, for example, heading levels, tables, and graphics. So where she has: s: increments and displays the first level and resets the > second and third levels to 0 > s:. displays the first level without changing it, > increments and displays the second level, and resets the third level to 0 > s:.. displays the first and second levels without > changing them, increments and displays the third level I would use: s:.< =0>.< =0> s:..< =0> s:.. The end result is the same, but you now have a visual reminder that there are other tags using this series that may require updating. (And I'm female, btw. Not that it's easy to tell from my name!)

Re: [Framers] Paragraph numbering
Debbie, Lin's example uses some options in FrameMaker's counter support that you didn't mention in your post: 1. Different sequences. If a paragraph's autonumber starts with a single character followed by a colon, it uses counters that are independent of those in other sequences. One solution in your case would be to use: x: and x: for numbered items y: and y: for lettered items I've used the x and y sequences in this example to emphasize that the sequence identifiers are independent of the way you are formatting the counter values. Of course, using n and a (or N and A) is probably more natural. Different sequences can be used for different numbered constructs. For example, you might use one sequence for list numbers and a different one for section numbers. 2. Using multiple levels in one sequence. For example, documents with three levels of sections can use the first counter for main sections, the second for subsections, and the third for subsubsections with autonumbers such as: s: for main sections s:. for subsections s:.. for subsubsections The counter for any level that is not mentioned is reset to 0. Thus, s: increments and displays the first level and resets the second and third levels to 0 s:. displays the first level without changing it, increments and displays the second level, and resets the third level to 0 s:.. displays the first and second levels without changing them, increments and displays the third level 3. Displaying a counter in different ways. Building blocks indicate the format in which counters are displayed (n for Arabic numerals, a for lowercase letters and so forth), but the counter value depends on how that level of that sequence was set in previous paragraphs and not by how it was displayed previously. It is up to the user to make sure that the same format is used consistently in all paragraphs. One way to "display" a counter is not to show it at all. That's done by using a space instead of a visible character (such as n or a) for the format. Lin is using the L sequence for items in lists with the first level of that sequence for numbered items in the main list and the second level of that sequence for lettered items in numbered lists. So his L:< >\t, where the space between the first pair of angle brackets is important, means to save but not display the value of the first counter level and to increment and display the second level as a letter. Without < >, the autonumber would be referring to the first level and the numbers and letters for both list levels would be confused. Hope this helps, --Lynne On 6/15/2021 5:09 AM, Lin Sims wrote: These are the contents of my Autonumbers for a similar list.

Re: [Framers] Paragraph numbering
If you look closely, you'll see that the building blocks for the numbers (the "upper" level) are in the first set of brackets and the building block for the letters (the "lower" level) are in the second set of brackets. This lets you use the upper level to restart numbering for the lower level and also "remembers" the value for the upper level to continue it when coming out of the lower level. There's an excellent explanation of using a series to control numbering here: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-framemaker-numbered-headings-continued/ On Tue, Jun 15, 2021 at 9:37 AM Harding, Dan wrote: > Shouldn't the different list levels be different sequences, i.e., 2nd > level should be a sequence other than L? > > -Dan > > > > > -Original Message- > From: Framers > On Behalf Of Lin Sims > Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2021 7:09 AM > To: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software. < > framers@lists.frameusers.com> > Subject: Re: [Framers] Paragraph numbering > > These are the contents of my Autonumbers for a similar list.

I started a numbered list, and inserted some indented alphabetic sub-items, then returned to the numbered list. I expected to get something like this: 1 2 3 a b c d e 4 5 6 Instead I got this: 1 2 3 a b c d e 6 7 8 The second part of the numbered list seems to be incrementing the ALPHABETIC value rather than the preceding NUMERIC value.

Re: [Framers] Paragraph numbering with embedded return?
Hi Lin, If you have to use two paragraph formats, use an "invisible" number on the Chapter Title paragraph format that picks up the number from the Section paragraph format. So if Section is then Chapter Title is . That way you only have to build a cross reference to the Chapter Title. There are various ways to make an autonumber invisible. If you need specific help, send me an email and I can give you some suggestions. Thanks.

[Framers] Paragraph numbering with embedded return?
The house style here is that each chapter starts with the following: Section Chapter Title (These are the only heading-type paragraphs with numbers.) I am getting mortally tired of having to use two separate cross-references when referring to a chapter. If I could figure out how to embed a return in the autonumbering, I could drop a paragraph tag, add an xref tag, and go on my merry way.

Re: [Framers] Small caps in paragraph numbering
Most appendices use letters rather than numbers. This helps distinguish them from the main body of the text. Even if we put "Chapter" or "Appendix" in the label, it's still easy to confuse them if both use numbers. Plus, if you're using numbered headings, you now have TWO sets of 1.1.3 and can't tell where you are in the book.

Re: [Framers] Small caps in paragraph numbering
OH! OK, I see what you mean. You're right, small caps doesn't affect capital letters, only lowercase, and as far as I know that's how it's always been since the idea was to substitute the lowercase glyphs with glyphs that resembled the uppercase letters at a lower height and lighter weight.

Re: [Framers] Small caps in paragraph numbering
The problem is Small Caps doesn't work at all if the character was uppercase to begin with. IMO it's a design flaw in the Small Caps concept, but that's just me. Small Caps won't work unless the text is lowercase. And setting the chapter number to capital letters makes the variable hold an uppercase value.

Re: [Framers] Small caps in paragraph numbering
You're using <$chapnum>? I admit that I haven't been using the special counters in anything, but while it should take its value from the numbering properties of the document, set in either the document itself or the bookfile, it's formatting should still be controlled by the Numbering tab for the paragraph tag. In any case, how is what you're doing using a character tag to set the font to all caps but 2 points smaller different from using a character tag to set the font to small caps? Maybe I'm missing something, but to me it sounds like we're both applying a character tag on the Numbering tab.

Re: [Framers] Small caps in paragraph numbering
I think the problem is that the autonumber is set by the Chapter Number and in this case it's set to capital letters (since it's an appendix). I suppose I could set the numbering to lowercase letters but that would cause problems elsewhere. The best workaround I've found is to define a character format that changes the font to uppercase while reducing font size by 2 points, which has the same net effect.

Create a specific character tag that for making text small caps with everything else set to As-Is.

Re: Bug: FrameMaker 8 changes dash \= in paragraph numbering of FM 7 MIF
Hello All - This is not just in FM 8.0 The bug exists to some extent in 7.2 as well, and it is a pickle other ways. Recently I inadvertently included a numeric space in an autonumber and ePP 9.2 totally choked on it. As to FM 7.2 and non-breaking hyphens in autonumbers, I've resorted to replacing them with periods - after I discovered that FM was changing the non-breaking hyphens into n-dashes - so now I have, for example, Fig. 9.2 rather than Fig. 9–2. (Before the bug FM used to give me Fig. 9-2). It's amazing how little the readers care (or notice) the change. Still, it would be nice to get what one asks for.

Bug: FrameMaker 8 changes dash \= in paragraph numbering of FM 7 MIF
Hello All - This is not just in FM 8.0 The bug exists to some extent in 7.2 as well, and it is a pickle other ways. Recently I inadvertently included a numeric space in an autonumber and ePP 9.2 totally choked on it. As to FM 7.2 and non-breaking hyphens in autonumbers, I've resorted to replacing them with periods - after I discovered that FM was changing the non-breaking hyphens into n-dashes - so now I have, for example, Fig. 9.2 rather than Fig. 9?2. (Before the bug FM used to give me Fig. 9-2). It's amazing how little the readers care (or notice) the change. Still, it would be nice to get what one asks for.

Paragraph numbering issue
It sounds to me like you have the book file has the numbering properties set to restart the paragraph numbering in each chapter files. It's important to remember that numbering properties set in the book file (by highlighting components in the book window, then right-clicking and shoosing Numbering Properties in the context menu) override any settings that are made in the individual files so that you can use the same component files in multiple books that may have different numbering setups. And are you remembering to execute the Update Book command to refresh all the numbering after you make any changes in the book-level numbering properties? The numbering does not update on the fly when you chang ethe setup; you must explicitly tell FrameMaker to perform the update. -Fred Ridder >From: William Abernathy >To: framers at lists.frameusers.com >Subject: Paragraph numbering issue >Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:07:09 -0700 > >All: I'm having a difficult time finessing this one, and I think I need >someone to help me come at it from a different angle.

Paragraph numbering issue
Thank you Fred, Ann, and Jeremy for your replies. All suggested that I review the numbering properties at the book and document levels for consistency. Fred, however, wins the scalp on this bug with the following suggestion: "And are you remembering to execute the Update Book command to refresh all the numbering after you make any changes in the book-level numbering properties? The numbering does not update on the fly when you change the setup; you must explicitly tell FrameMaker to perform the update." D'Oh!

Paragraph numbering issue
All: I'm having a difficult time finessing this one, and I think I need someone to help me come at it from a different angle. I have chapterwise paragraph numbers that I want to reset on every chapter break, and I have a set of requirement numbers that I want to sustain across chapter boundaries. Hence: ... Section 5.10.6 blah blah Requirement 47: Thou shalt Foo Chapter 6 Section 6-1 blah-blah Requirement 48: Thou shalt Bar The problem is that I still end up with: Section 6-1 blah-blah Requirement 1: Thou shalt Bar The current Heading p-tags are: C:<$chapnum>.<n+>.< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>\t (for Heading1, outputting "N.1 [Section Title]" and resetting all subheadings in the C: series). At the chapter break, the Chapter title P-tag resets the entire series with C:<$chapnum>.< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>. The current Requirement p-tag is: R:Requirement <n+> I have set the paragraph numbering properties to continue paragraph numbering from chapter to chapter, under the theory that the C: series will be reset by the chapter title regardless. Nonetheless, the R: series doggedly resets at the chapter breaks. As things stand, I'm having to cook up a fudge p-tag setting at the chapter breaks, which is obviously unacceptable. What am I doing wrong? --William

The settings made from the book file override those made from the chapter file. Sounds like the book could be resetting the paragraph numbering. -- Jeremy H.

Paragraph numbering not restarting
Guys, I have a book file. The chapter and page numbering is updating just fine. The paragraph numbering is not even though it's set to read from previous file. We have a technical manual with numbered headings and the headings are restarting at 1 with each chapter which is not what we want. Any suggestions?

Re: Paragraph numbering not restarting
The usual way to force this to happen is to create two tags for each level of headings, one to start the numbering at 1, and the other tag to increment. If this scheme is in use, the book para setting will be over-ridden. So check the first heading in each chapter to see what that tag's Numbering properties are... and if you're using the two-tag scheme.

Paragraph Numbering
I wanted to check with the newsgroup and see if anyone could assist me with a numbering issue that I have. I would like to have paragraphs numbered as follows: 10.020 Apple 10.020.1 l;kfjkf;jl 10.020.2 fdjklfjklfl;fdklj;djlkklj;lk;jboaniiesuijnuifnlik 10.030 Orange 10.030.1 l;kfjkf;jl 10.030.2 fdjklfjklfl;fdklj;djlkklj;lk;jboaniiesuijnuifnlik 10.045 Orange 10.045.1 l;kfjkf;jl 10.045.2 fdjklfjklfl;fdklj;djlkklj;lk;jboaniiesuijnuifnlik As you can see their are two things that I dont know how to do. 1. Make numbers increment by variable increments 2. Make the sub numbers ( 10.030.1 and 10.030.2) increment by one when using the first number as a base or root 10.030 and 10.045 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Check out the new AOL.

You could hard-code the Apple and Orange numbers -- just enter 10.020 in the Autonumber Format box of Paragraph Designer -- just to get the positioning and char formatting. Then, you could use autonumbering for the sequential subentries by setting up a pgf format with autonumbering of 10.020.. Obviously, you'd need a separate pfg format for each unique "fruit-level" number. Or maybe you should try rethinking this entirely and not use FM's numbering at all. I assume you're not making up these numbers that increment arbitrarily. If they're generated elsewhere, perhaps some form of import (manual or scripted) would off-load the numbering to the external source. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.
