[help-texinfo] User defined sectioning numbers when using @unnumbered
Dear Compeers, I am using an @unnumbered chapter so it displays in the contents section when I call @contents. Is there any way to add section numbers such as @unnumbered 1 Preamble @unnumberedsec 1.1 Applicability and Definitions @unnumberedsubsec 1.1.1 Verbatim Copying However, rather than hardwiring the sectioning numerical sequence (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, ...etc), is it possible to define some variables in another file and they then get replaced at the beginning of the @unnumbered @unnumberedsec and @unnumberedsubsec names? Define label--preamb, label--appldef, label--verbatim in some top level file top--level--document.texi: @page @node license--unnumbered @unnumbered label--license License @include ./license--unnumbered.texi license--unnumbered.texi: @unnumberedsec label--preamb Preamble @unnumberedsec label--appldef Applicability and Definitions @unnumberedsec label--copying Verbatim Copying @unnumberedsubsec label--cpinq Copying in Quantity

Re: [help-texinfo] User defined sectioning numbers when using @unnumbered
The reason is that I am writing a book. Each chapter has an appendix section. In summary, an appendix needs to relate directly to the subject. In addition, I aim to have chapters only about the topics I wish to discuss. Consequently, any License and Copyright Documents would use a different numbering sequence different than for chapters or appendices. Naturally, I also have separate License and Copyright Documents sectioned as chapter and appendices too so I may use them as necessary in other documents I write. For the @unnumbered version, I would need a way to define the sectioning format so I can use them in different documents, but at the same time I can use the same @include ./license--unnumbered.texi This means that different documents can have different sectioning even though they may call the same ./license--unnumbered.texi ├── freelic │ ├── cc │ └── gnu │ ├── agpl--chapter.texi │ ├── agpl--appendix.texi │ ├── agpl--unnumbered.texi │ ├── gfdl--chapter.texi │ ├── gfdl--appendix.texi │ └── gfdl--unnumbered.texi > Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2019 at 7:05 PM > From: "Gavin Smith" > To: "Christopher Dimech" > Cc: help-texinfo@gnu.org > Subject: Re: [help-texinfo] User defined sectioning numbers when using > @unnumbered > > On Wed, Jan 02, 2019 at 06:32:33PM +0100, Christopher Dimech wrote: > > Dear Compeers, > > > > I am using an @unnumbered chapter so it displays in the contents section > > when I call @contents.

I'm sorry, I don't get it. You want to have three different numbering sequences in the table of contents: chapters, appendices, and other license and copyright documents? > Naturally, I also have separate License and Copyright Documents sectioned as > chapter and appendices too so I may use them as necessary in other documents > I write. > > For the @unnumbered version, I would need a way to define the sectioning > format > so I can use them in different documents, but at the same time I can use the > same @include ./license--unnumbered.texi This means that different documents > can have different sectioning even though they may call the same > ./license--unnumbered.texi The chapter structuring commands in the included file will follow the numbering of the top-level file that is being included into.

Have tried using @set and @value, and the trial worked as intended.
