To me that's just making extra work for myself and anyone else who ever works on the project. In the bad old days, you couldn't put a whole book in a single .fm file because you'd run out of memory or disk space. On Tue, Jan 7, 2020 at 2:55 PM wrote: > > I did mention that my numbering was for

I did mention that my numbering was for books (meaning Frame books), since that is where chapnum works. Naturally, I would approach an all-chapters in one document differently than a multi-chapter/document job, but I reserve the all-in-one doc files for smaller documents. As they say, to each

At a first glance? What I'd do is assign a condition to each author and then generate a book that has only their condition turned on. On Tue, Jan 7, 2020 at 3:15 PM John Posada wrote: > Stipulation...no scripts and I'm using FM19. > > I have a Book with currently, now, about 400 files, though I

Winfried,     I agree with you about avoiding chapnum, etc. You are correct that using counters is more flexible because it allows multiple chapters, sections, or volumes to appear either in separate documents or grouped into one. Furthermore, I find using counters easier to maintain since

Hi, In a previous job the figure numbers and table numbers were a combination of the chapter number and a running number in this file: Figure x-x Table x-x This works only, when the figure and table format use the same series as heading1. This is an argument for a single all-in-one numbering
