List of markers showing bullet point instead of paragraph number

I have a document with a revision highlight page. This page utilizes a list of markers to list all the paragraphs that have changed since the last published document.

The problem I am facing is that some of the changes affect a bullet list item. In the list of markers generated page, everything works for normal numbered paragraphs; however, for bullet list items I get a bullet instead of the list-parent paragraph number.

My building blocks for the revision highlight paragraph is as follows:

<$chapnum>.<$pagenum> <$paranumonly> <$markertext>

In the example below, the '1.5' is the Chapter number. Page Number, and the 1.3.3 is the para number on that page.

Is there a way to list the bullet list parent paragraph number whenever the marker affects a bullet list item?

    You would have to include the paragraph number in your marker text and then leave off the <$paranumonly> building block. Note that you could script the addition of the paragraph number to the marker so that the marker always includes the correct number.

    Sounds great! Thanks for the tip.

    While I would love to go the scripting way, I am not very familiar with it. Is there any similar example I can build upon?

    Can you email me a small sample document with some markers in it? I will try to knock out a small sample script. rick at frameexpert dot com
