Flare Autonumbers Guide

Autonumber Format Examples

Following are examples of some common uses of autonumbering and how you might create autonumber formats for them. For examples of autonumbers in action, you can create a test project using one of Flare's factory templates.

Autonumber Format

GH:VOLUME {volnum}:

How It Will Look in Output

VOLUME 1: [My Volume

Title]

Where You Might Use It

A heading to display the volume number and title.

Note: To generate volume numbers, you need to create an autonumber format that includes the {volnum} command. Second, you need to specify chapter breaks in the outline TOC. Third, you need to specify the autonumber flow for each volume, resetting the volume number to a specific number.

CH:Chapter {chapnum} Chapter 1 - [My Chapter Title] A heading to display the chapter number and title.

Note: To generate chapter numbers, you need to create an autonumber format that includes the {chapnum} command. Then you need to specify chapter breaks in the outline TOC.

Autonumber Format

CH:{chapnum}.{n+}

A:{n+}.0

How It Will Look in Output

1.1 [My Subheading]

Where You Might Use It

A subheading within a chapter, where the first number reflects the chapter number. The second number is simply incremented. Additional subheadings using this same format would be numbered like this:

1.2

1.3

1.4

1.0 [My Paragraph Text]

2.0

3.0

4.0

A paragraph at the first level of your content, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. You simply want to begin counting at 1. The second number is simply 0 for each paragraph using the style. Additional paragraphs using this same format would be numbered like this:

In this example, "A" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

Autonumber Format

A:{n}.{n+}

How It Will Look in Output

1.1 [My Paragraph Text]

Where You Might Use It

A paragraph at the second level of your content, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. You might indent paragraphs (or styles) using this format. If so, paragraphs using this same format would be seen as "children" of first-level paragraphs and numbered like this:

1.0

1.1

1.2

2.0

2.1

2.2

2.3

In this example, "A" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

A:{n}.{n}.{n+}

How It Will Look in Output

1.1.1 [My Paragraph Text]

Where You Might Use It

A paragraph at the third level of your content, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. You might indent paragraphs (or styles) using this format. If so, paragraphs using this same format would be seen as "children" of first-level and second-level paragraphs and numbered like this:

1.0

1.1

1.1.1

1.1.2

2.0

2.1

2.1.1

2.1.2

2.1.3

In this example, "A" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

Autonumber Format

O:{R+}.

O:{ }{A+}.

How It Will Look in Output

I. [My Paragraph Text]

Where You Might Use It

A paragraph at the first level of an outline. Additional paragraphs using this same format would be numbered like this:

II.

III.

IV.

In this example, "O" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

A. [My Paragraph Text] A paragraph at the second level of an outline. You might indent paragraphs (or styles) using this format. If so, paragraphs using this same format would be seen as "children" of first-level paragraphs and numbered like this:

I.

A.

B.

II.

A.

B.

C.

In this example, "O" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

Autonumber Format

CF: FIGURE {chapnum}-

{n+}:

How It Will Look in Output Where You Might Use It

FIGURE 1-1: [My Figure Caption Text]

A paragraph below an image to describe the contents of the image. In this example, the first number refers to the chapter number where the image is included, and the second number simply increments by 1 each time the autonumber format is applied to content.

So the first few figure captions of

Chapter 1 would be numbered like this:

FIGURE 1-1:

FIGURE 1-2:

FIGURE 1-3:

And the first few figure captions of

Chapter 2 would be numbered like this:

FIGURE 2-1:

FIGURE 2-2:

FIGURE 2-3:

In this example, the "C" at the beginning of the format is necessary to increment based on the chapter. The "F" that comes after it is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want (e.g., CP).

Autonumber Format

T:Table {n+} -

{n+}.

{R+}.

How It Will Look in Output

Table 1 - [My Table Caption

Text]

Where You Might Use It

A paragraph above a table to display the caption for the table, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. The autonumbers would increment like this:

Table 1 -

Table 2 -

Table 3 -

In this example, "T" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

1. [My Paragraph Text]

I. [My Paragraph Text]

2.

3.

A paragraph that is part of step-by-step procedures, which would look like this:

1.

I.

II.

A paragraph that is the first level of an outline. In this example, we've used uppercase Roman numerals for the first level, so it would look like this:

III.
