Exporting autonumbers, suffixes, and prefixes to SGML or XML

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To my knowledge, there is no way to make FM+SGML export autonumbers, 
prefixes, and suffixes. In the case of exporting to XML the 
autonumbers/prefixes/suffixes don't appear in the CSS so that they could be 
appended or prepended to the associated text. I can understand why it isn't 
done, because if it were, you'd have problems when round-tripping between 
FM+SGML and SGML or XML (i.e., both the embedded number/prefix/suffix in 
the SGML or XML instance and the autonumber/prefix/suffix added by FM+SGML 
on import would appear.

It seems to me, however, that there ought to be a read/write rule that 
would specify that all autonumbers/prefixes/suffixes are to be exported.

Barring that easy fix to the problem, I wonder if anyone knows of the 
existence of an API (or some ingenius trick) that would accomplish the same 
thing.
