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.

Subject: RE: programming question
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.
