Re: programming question



I have been using the auto replace which I think is still easier.  I have in pers.spl file
c1q followed by a space and then a delta containing .  I repeated this with c2q followed
by a space and then a delta containing .  I repeated this with up to c9q with

corresponding deltas.  I assume there is no reason to stop with c9q except that

I never had a need to go higher.  I have these in my pers.spl for many years so

that I do not have to retype them all the time.  When I want to number things
in the body of the document I type   As I remember the buffer for loading all
.spl files is about 10k so you may want to have tailored .spl files for the project

you are working on.  Somewhat earlier I had suggested using auto replace for
inserting deltas.   Since I have a list of only about 40 or 50 formatting deltas

that I use over and over for me it is very sensible to do my formatting by using

auto replace to insert deltas.  You can also use auto replace to insert deltas

within deltas.  I found going back to Nota Bene 3 that auto replace could be

used to insert deltas in deltas that would not otherwise except a nesting delta. 

I am not sure whether it was time or date or page number which I could not

directly insert in a running head, but I could do it with auto replace.  I

remember speaking to Gumport who was then in technical support at

Nota Bene who liked the idea.  I hope this helps.

Morris asked: ≫what XPL codes must be used to be able to number specific
characters≪

Before you start numbering, issue the command DC 1=1; alternatively, you
can embed the code ≪DC1=1≫. Then each time you want to enter an
imcrementing number  either type C1 on the command line (and hit return
or your eXeCute key) or copy and paste the following code: ≪C1≫

You might want to save that to a key for the duration of the project. But
I use these auto-counters a lot, and find that typing C a number on the
command line is EASIER than hitting F2 and a number. A matter of taste.
