How to autonumber table titles

[joshm19816095]

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.

For some reason I'm able to get figures to autonumber by using the above code (with fig in place of table), but the table autonumbering isn't working for me in the bookmap. It works great in a map! Is there something I need to change? I'm pretty much using the identical code from your snippet.

Thank you!

I think is was either a technical issue or some conflicting code, but I deleted everything I had for the table numbering and recreated it. Now it works like a charm. I did copy my code from a map template to a bookmap template. That may have been the issue. In any case, if anyone else runs into this I suggest recreating before further troubleshooting.
