Hello,
I am helping a friend of mine to setup a template for her Rechtswissenschaften Homework.
In the faculty they have some weird and unusual requirements for the numberings of Headings, which make more sense from a Handwritten Homework perspective than a modern digital one.
Each Subheading level has a different numbering format.
Each subheading must not reference its Parent so a Heading of level 2 for the numbering “A.1.” must not contain the “A.” of its Parent.
I have found a solution for this, which I think is a reasonably good one.
#show heading.where(level: 2 ): set heading(numbering: (..nums)=> {
numbering("A.", nums.at(1))
})
#show heading.where(level: 3 ): set heading(numbering: (..nums)=> {
numbering("I.", nums.at(2))
})
These Start at level 2 since there needs to be an uncounted Heading of level 1, that splits the outline into different broader Questions.
Now when starting a second question the Heading at level 2 follows after the Heading for the first question. For exmaple:
= Question 1
== Should be A.
=== Should be I.
== Shoud be B.
=== Should be I.
=== Should be II.
= Question 2
== Should be A. Is C. instead
=== Should be I.
...
This can be remidied by using
#counter(heading).update(1)
My Question is then: Why does the Heading Counter not update. Shouldn’t the numbering, which is just the function that displays the number of the heading, not influence how and if a Heading is counted?
