I would like to write a large document in pieces, so that each chapter can be compiled/debugged separately. What I would like is a page numbering scheme that the page number would restart at the beginning of each chapter (like it does in some technical manuals). For example: Chapter1: Intro pages 1-1 thru 1-10 Chapter2: Operation pages 2-1 thru 2-12 Chapter3: Maintenance pages 3-1 thru 3-33 Of course, I would like to generate a table of contents that reflect the page numbering style. Any help is appreciated. thanks -- Glenn L. Swonk CCI Computers (714)458-7282 9801 Muirlands Boulevard Irvine, CA 92718 uunet!ccicpg!swonk

[stuff deleted] The way I did it was to redefine the LaTeX \chapter command to execute a user-defined "hook" at the right place for each new chapter (i.e., after the double page has been flushed, but before the title is set), as shown in this fragment from my style file (which modifies the "book" style): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin "mybook.sty" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \input book.sty % add "\everychapter" hook for use at every \chapter command \def\everychapter#1{\gdef\@everychapter{#1}} \def\@everychapter{} % redefine the \chapter command to include the "hook" \def\chapter{\cleardoublepage \thispagestyle{plain} \global\@topnum\z@ \@afterindentfalse \@everychapter \secdef\@chapter\@schapter} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end "mybook.sty" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Then I can use that hook to automatically reset the page counter at the beginning of every chapter. In the following example, note that the preface section uses lower cases roman numerals for page numbers (as set by the first "\renewcommand"), while the main body uses chapter--page numbers (as set by the second "\renewcommand"): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin "thebook.tex" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \documentstyle{mybook} \begin{document} % preface section - roman numeral page nums \renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}} \include{titlepage} \include{contents} \include{preface} % main body - number pages within chapters \renewcommand{\thepage}{\thechapter--\arabic{page}} \everychapter{\setcounter{page}{1}} \include{introduction} % ch1 \include{structural} % ch2 \include{surveying} % ch3 %% ... etc. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end "thebook.tex" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The "\include"ed files simply start the "\chapter" commands -- there is nothing special in them. And the table of contents is correct, automatically. By the way, I have a modified version of an old version of an index sort/merge program distributed by the Free Software Foundation that works with page numbers of this type.

From article <31495@ccicpg.UUCP>, by swonk@ccicpg.UUCP (Glen Swonk): > > What I would like is a page numbering scheme that the page number > would restart at the beginning of each chapter (like it > does in some technical manuals). > In the pre-amble (ie the bit before \begin{document}) change the command which numbers the pages to \renewcommand{\thepage}{\thesection-\arabic{page}} Then at the beginning of each section reset the page counter to 1 thus \setcounter{page}{1} This will cope with sections and will number all the pages in Appendix A as A-1, A-2 and so on. It helps if you begin each section on a new page. > Of course, I would like to generate a table of contents > that reflect the page numbering style. \tableofcontents can cope with this but it depends where you want your table of contents to appear and what page number you wish it to be on. It may be advisable to turn off the page numbering for this page. The same applies if you have a bibliography - one solution is to issue another renew command at the start of the bibliography (assuming it is after all the appendices; \renewcommand{\thepage}{Bib-\arabic{page}} \setcounter{page}{1} Will label all the bibliography pages Bib-1....

Below are some fragments from our Operations Manaual style that provide what you have asked for (you may need to do some reconciliation with your style file). Also, roman numeral are used for pages before chapter one (e.g. the contents pages), and the TeX counters have been reasssigned, so that TeX reports pages as [0.1] [0.2] ... [1.1] [1.2] [1.3] ...
