Re: Volume vs. Chapter

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brandon,

You have the answer below. Use <$volnum> foruUnit numbering, and <$chapnum> 
for chapter numbering. A "volume" is really a numbering scheme for a group 
of chapters, just as you have it.

You can create Unit intro pages with the unit number in the title, use 
volume and/or chapter numbers in headers and footers, export vol/chap 
numbers to auto-generated files, etc.

Use the Book File window Numbering properties to set the volume and chapter 
number for the various files and you're all set.

Best,
