8.14.2 Specifying browse numbers

You can specify a starting browse number in the configuration file; if you have more than one file in your project, you can specify a starting number for each. You can also specify a starting browse number in the document itself, in a configuration marker (see §33.2.2 Overriding settings with configuration markers).

To activate browse sequences for topic titles, in [HelpBrowse] specify TitleBrowse=Yes. Specify the interval to use between browse numbers as Step=5, or just Step=1 if you will never need to interpolate any new ones by hand. Specify the number of digits to use so that you have enough numbers available: Digits=3 allows for 999 topics, Digits=4 allows 9,999. Specify the starting browse number as Start=N, and the browse prefix as Prefix=XX. The default values are as follows:

[HelpBrowse]

; these defaults are for all files processed

; override as needed in individual filename.ini files

; or using configuration markers in the documents themselves

Step=5

Digits=4

; make sure each RTF file has a different Start value

; allowing room for the numbers used in the earlier files

Start=5

Prefix=HLP
