Re: How to get figure counter to reset by itself

["Becky Swanson" <becky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"... Contrary to what one might expect, n does not reset to zero when chapnum
changes.  Instead, figures are successively numbered 2.11 followed by 3.12."

I'm not sure why you'd think n would have anything to do with <$chapnum>. They
don't even share a tab on the numbering properties.

However, to solve your problem:

Depending on the rest of your autonumbering, you can go back to a variation of
the "old-style" autonumbering, placing the Figure titles in the same numbering
series as your Chapter Title/Number -- something like this:

C:Chapter <$chapnum> < =0>
C:Figure <$chapnum>-<n+>

That'll do it. If you have lots of subheadings numbering off of Chapter, you'll
have to put the Figure titles at the end of the numbering series, with a
placeholder for every "column" in your numbering sequence.

Hi, all,

I'm retracting the above posting.  The problem is
easily solved by breaking chapters into files in
a book, and designating that paragraph numbering
restart in each file.

Unfortunately, CiteMaker can only compile cited
references from a single file, not a whole book.
But that's a different problem.  :(
