Hi,
I am trying to figure out a way to reference a chapter number using an
ampersand macro or entity. (Please excuse me if I butcher the
terminology here.) Specifically, I would like to be able to say
something like this in my document: "Save your file as:
Ch&chap;-file.txt" where &chap; will magically turn into the current
chapter number giving "Ch2-file.txt" for example. I know that I could
define &chap somewhere, but it seems like I might be able to use some
sort of predefined chapter counting macro from the output processor. My
reasoning being that I end up with chapter number on my HTML output file
when I never defined any specific numbers in the original XML. Does
anyone know what this macro might be called?
Dave
