I am using FrameMkaer 2019 and DITA. In some cases, I need to set the start of value of the ordered list to a different value than 1. How can I do that?

Do you have the ability (under DITA) to set the Number > Format in Paragraph Designer?

Here's an entry I'm using in a current project:
Format: N:<n=0>.\t

Although you can use an override to do this (in unstructured FM), I always use dedicated Paragraph tags to do it.

So I have checked it using fm file format. The WYSIWYG is perfect, as the list starts from the value I set o:<n=22>)\t

But in the pdf the list starts from 1 again!

Good point. Can one of you add a feature request and send it across via tracker.adobe.com.

 

Also please share some of the options that may be helpful for ol22 related request as well. Hopefully we can take it up in an upcoming update.

 

Thanks

Hi Amitoj, I noticed that the feature request, I had created a year ago for this case as you recommended, is still open. see FRMAKER-7784 | Tracker (adobe.com) Would it be possible that it would be picked up in some of your next releases as well?
