How to autonumber table titles

Question

Hello,

Right now I have my Native PDF template set to add a prefix before all tables titles. It looks like this:

Table #: Title here in DITA

My question is, how do I replace that # with autonumbering? I'd like it to count the entirety of the document for this number (not reset per topic/chapter).

Here is the source I'm using:

table .title {
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;
color: #001F3F;
margin-top: 2px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
table .title::before {
content: "Table #: ";
font-weight: bold;
}

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

You can use something like below CSS :

table .title {
  text-align: left;
  color: #001F3F;
  font-size: 14pt;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-bottom: 14pt;
  margin-top: 14pt;
}
table .title::before {
  counter-increment: table\.title;
  content: "Table " counter(table\.title, decimal) ": ";
  font-weight: bold;
}
body {
  counter-reset: table\.title 0;
}

Along with table style, you will need to reset the counter in body. Using the above CSS, numbering should run for table titles in entire PDF document.

Please give it a try and let us know if it solves your use case.
