------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Mar 24 02:06:27 -0800 2006 ------- I am looking for a way to create paragraph numbers (in German: Randziffern; dict.leo.org calls them "recitals") that are written in the page margin area for every text body paragraph of a book. The numbers should be on the left of the text on left pages and on the right of the text on right pages, and there should only be one number on the top line of every paragraph. I not talking about line numbers! Up to now I have used frames anchored to the first line of each paragraph containing a text in a numbered paragraph format as a workaround. But you have to insert such a frame to every paragraph by hand, it is a hassle to create cross-references, and the frames are very fragile (i.e., if you by accident select a frame and press a cursor button, the frame shifts to a different line. So the risk of printing errors is high.) See the attached example for my current status and the url for a discussion to the topic. This way of numbering paragraphs is very common in legal texts (mainly in German, but also in other European legal texts). It should be possible to achieve automatic margin numbers by extending the paragraph numbering feature by a "mirror paragraph number on odd [even] pages" option like the one that exists for frames (see the cited discussion for details). Furthermore it is impossible to create an automatic index which references the recitals instead of pages. See the corresponding issue I'm just going to add to the database. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
