consecutively numbered table of contents and headlines

Hello Adobe Community,

i have two questions about RoboHelp HTML (RoboHelp 9).

1st Question)

Is it possible headlines are numbered consecutively like this example (A lower headline level always has the number of the higher level in front of it.) :

  1. Headline ABC
  2. Headline DEF

        2.1 Headline OUI

        2.2 Headline POI

              2.2.1 Headline ZUI

   3.  Headline XYZ

The example is like a numbering is possible in microsoft word.

And one important thing is that headlines are linked to another in a way that if I delete "2. Headline DEF" 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 becomes 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1 .

2nd Question)

Is it possible, numbering the table of contents consecutively regardless of books, pages, and bookmarks?

Example:

  1. Book 1

        1.1 Page 1

        1.2 Page 2

             1.2.1 Bookmarked_Headline 1

             1.2.2 Bookmarked_Headline 2

        1.3 Page 3

        1.4 Bookmarked_Headline 3

The numbers which are used in the table of contents should be the same like headlines have on there pages.

I hope you understand my english and can help me.

kind regards

Denis

Correct answer Peter Grainge

What you need to use within the topics is a multilevel list. See my site for information on using lists.

They cannot be applied to the TOC contents and there is now way around that as far as I am aware, other than manually numbering the books and topics.

Many people are moving away from numbering other than in specialised areas.

Thank you for your fast answer.

But multilevel lists aren't that what i was searching for.

Because i want that the headlines are numbered and the second level headlines are numbered, too. But in second level they should have the upper level number in front of there own number.

A list is something completely different in reference on headlines.

Ok, if that concept doesn't work, i have to thinking about a new one.

Multilevel lists can be created exactly as you describe.
