How to skip chapter number for the first topic?

[DmitryS]

Hi Team!
Some document standards wants me to place introductory topics before TOC, an these topics have to have no number:

Code: Select all

    <chapter href="32-01_installation_ug/concept/c_annotation.dita" outputclass="before-toc"/>
    <chapter href="32-01_installation_ug/concept/c_abbreviations.dita" outputclass="before-toc"/>
    <chapter href="32-01_installation_ug/concept/c_general_info.dita">
        <topicref href="32-01_installation_ug/concept/c_architecture.dita"/>
        <topicref href="32-01_installation_ug/concept/c_environment_structure.dita"/>
    </chapter>

I cannot find how to start third topic, "c_general_info.dita" with 1. My template is based on CSS, I use deep numbering style.

Hello,

You can do this using the following selector in your CSS customization:

Code: Select all

*[class ~= "map/map"][numbering^='deep'] *[class ~= "topic/topic"][outputclass="before-toc"] + *:not([outputclass="before-toc"]) {
    counter-reset: chapter;
}

Please note that you can debug your customization using the transformation ".merged.html" generated file.
Using this and your browser inspector you can easily identify and modify the selectors to customize the output.

Julien

Unfortunately, it doesn't help.

Hello Julien,
example is attached.
(I hope to remove the chapter number for Appendix with your solution. I don't need it as well)

Sincerely,
Dmitry

Hello Dmitry,

I've updated your CSS files on my side and tested successfully.

Please check if this works also on your version:

Hello Julien,
no result again... It looks like custom CSS is ignored. Maybe merged.html can help? I have attached it.

Hello again,

Could you write us an email at support@oxygenxml.com. I can give you a snapshot of a more recent version of the Oxygen DITA-OT CSS Publishing plugin. Normally it should correct the numbering behavior.
