I'm sorry, I don't get it.

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

I don't understand why you don't just use @chapter or @appendix instead
of @unnumbered if you want the chapter to be numbered.

Possibly with
@set label--preamb 1.2.3
then refer to it with @value{label--preamb}. However, there is a
chance this won't work when processed with TeX.

[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
