Thanks Daniel. I never looked at the content of numreport.inc.

Perhaps you have an idea for my problem I uploaded here before?

Yes yes, LyX "doesn't know anything about latex", and it is actually 
latex that takes care of the numbering, but only in the output (pdf or 
dvi). My question is about the numbering *inside*​ the editor.


stdfloats.inc contains the basic definition of the float, e.g.


Float
Type  table
GuiName   Table
Placement tbp
Extension lot
NumberWithin  none
Style plain
ListName  "List of Tables"
IsPredefined  true
UsesFloatPkg  false
ListCommand   listoftables
RefPrefix tab
End


numreport.inc switches the numbering for reports and books to be within 
chapters, e.g.



Float
Type  table
NumberWithin  chapter
End


Best,
Daniel

I am just wondering how lyx knows how to display the numbering of floats when 
the document class is book and according to what rule to change the numbering 
when the document class is changed to article, for example.

Yes yes, LyX "doesn't know anything about latex", and it is actually latex that 
takes care of the numbering, but only in the output (pdf or dvi). My question 
is about the numbering inside​ the editor.

LyX follows LaTeX to do the numbering, and that means you need to use
either modules, local formatting or code in the preamble (the "caption"
package) to modify the numbering beyond the standard formatting. Under
Document → Settings → Modules it's possible to activate modules that
restart the numbering for figures and tables on each sections. For more,
you need to tell us what you need (roman numerals?, small caps for the
labels?, etc.).

How figure and table numbering is defined?

[tush via lyx-users]

I tried to look where the numbering (within the lyx editor) of figures and 
tables is defined.

If I choose book doc class, a figure gets the number 
"chapter-number.figurenumber-within-the-chapter", whereas if I choose article 
doc class, it changes to "figure-number-within-the-whole-article".

Nothing is mentioned about floats numbers in stdfloats.inc, stdcounters.inc or 
the like.

I hope that if I will have the answer to how this numbering is done, I might be 
able to set nicely the numbering of a new float I want to insert into my 
document.--

In LyX you can do it, in the master document, with:

Document -> Settings -> Document Class -> Class Options -> Custom

and inserting in the Custom field: numbers=noendperiod

I hope that this helps.



Many thanks. Apologies for the delay ig responding, I've been away from 
my laptop for too long!


I have tested this solution and it works perfectly. Thanks again.

Take care, stay safe.

It seems that this is on purpose due to using parts.

I had to search for the solution:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/179285/redefine-figure-counter-with-scrbook

Koma-script Book Figure/Table numbering.

[Norman Dunbar]

Hello All,

I have searched the archives and googled for information, but I found 
nothing useful. If I have missed something, please be gentle with me! ;-)


My development setup:

* Linux Mint 19.3 64 bit.
* Lyx 2.2.4 (From the Mint distro, not downloaded.)
* Koma Script Book document class.


I have a book in progress, hopefully to be published "soon". I wrote my 
previous book in ASCIIDoctor-pdf and it was a total nightmare when the 
publisher wanted a re-jig of the chapters as the table/figure/listings 
all had to be manually renumbered. I have some experience with pure 
LaTeX, but I much prefer Lyx, I get more done that way.


The publisher requires me to number tables and figures as "n.n.n". I 
have set my Document's modules to "Number tables by section", "Number 
figures by section".


The book is split into parts and each chapter is a separate file 
inserted as child documents with include type = "include". Each child 
has the same options as the master - I have checked.


When I preview a child document, the generated PDF is correctly 
numbering the tables and figures as "n.n.n: Caption_text", however, when 
I preview the master document the tables and figures are now "n.n.n.: 
Caption_text" -- there's an extra dot before the colon.


This problem does not occur if the Standard Book document class is used. 
However, I do prefer the Koma-script one.


The problem also doesn't occur if I don't use parts. Unfortunately, I 
need parts.


I have a test case if anyone is interested, but I doubt I'd be allowed 
to attach it to a list posting, especially as a new subscriber.


Has anyone seen this problem before? If so, did you find a solution?


Thanks in advance.


Cheers,
Norm.

You have not nested them into figures and this would also only cause problems.


When I take a look at the figures inside LyX, they are all ok. But when I
export to DVI or PDF, the figures are counting in +2 increments. The first
figure is 2, the second is 4...


This is because you used longtables within table floats. These types have their own numbering and 
thus the table counter is increased by 2. Note that the concept of a longtable is that it cannot 
float but page breaks are allowed. Therefore it is not sensible to add them to table floats.


For more info about tables and longtables, see chapter 2 Tables of the EmbeddedObjects manual that 
you find in LyX's Help menu.

A longtable inside a float doesn't make much sense because a float cannot be

If the latter, then I think I found a bug. It would be pretty hard to 
replicate, unfortunately. If the former, I'd like to learn how to avoid it.

Thanks for the pointer---I didn't know. I had never even thought about what 
would happen to a longtable inside a float---as you say, it does not make 
sense. That's probably why it took me a while to understand what was going on.

I just faced the same problem with branch (1.6.6svn). While editing a table in 
a document, I suddenly noticed it became a longtable. I'm sure I never set 
that.

I don't have time to investigate ATM.

Hello Martina!

i solved the problem just with this command

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{your section title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{your section title}

you have to write this after a section or subsection.. it should work. It
works even for list of figures, table and  nomenclature

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF TABLES}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF FIGURES}

Table numbering: subsection arabic and table no. alph

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

sorry for asking, but I could not find any hints on this list or in the 
Embedded Objects-Manual on how to change table numbering to a mixed mode 
of arabic and alph.


I have several tables in a subsection, and I want the caption to look like

Table 1.3 a: foo
Table 1.3 b: foo

and so on, with 1.3 being the subsection and a,b,... as the table numbers.

Any ideas on how to do this or where to look?

Many thanks,

Well, it didn't happen this time.  ;-)  You're right, the first table is 
flagged longtable (although in the test document, at least, it's not all

Dear all,

I have an odd problem with the numbering of tables. The document I've

This happens if you have two captions inside a float.  (Which may
be a valid thing to do, for example when having two numbered
tables side-by-side.)

This sometimes happens accidentally like this:
1. You insert a table float. The empty paragraph inside the new float
  is of type caption
2. During editing, the caption paragraph is split by pressing enter.
   Now there are two paragraphs in there, both of type caption.
   Perhaps one is the real caption and the other contains the table.

The paragraph containing the table (or figure) inside a float should
not be of the caption type.

Hello Paul,

Apparently there was something wrong with the first float:table. After 
deleting/rewriting the float:table, the problem solved itself. I'm 
sorry, I guess I'm getting a bit edgy because of my deadline.

I've attached an example anyway.

Thanks nonetheless.

Hi,

today i want to change the table numbering, like the figure numbering i want

Paul Smith solution (take a look at the end of the mail) for figure numbering 
into a solution for table numbering. Because i'm a newbee, i failed. Can
