[comp.text] Chapter relative pg nos?

whbr@cgchd6.uucp (Hellmuth Broda) (01/25/89)

Dear fellow netters

I am looking for a LaTeX (sub)style that allows chapter  relative
page  numbering  for a technical report where individual chapters
will be updated on different occasions.

    The page numbers should be of the form 5-32 (chapter-page) or  
    C-47  (appendix-page).  This mode of page numbering must also 
    appear in the  index,  in  cross   references   in  table-of-
    contents-  and list-of-table files etc.

I think that this means to redefine  \thepage since this seems to
be  the counter that appears in the headings as well as in index-
entries, X-refs and toc files.

Please e-mail any suggestions---I shall summarize to  this  news-
group.

Thanks in advance

Hellmuth Broda
