# numbering

    .numbering merge:{Boolean = true} formats:{Map<String, Any>} -> Void

Content copied to clipboard

Sets the global numbering format across the document. Numbering is applied to elements that support it, such as headings and figures.

- If a format is `none`, that kind of numbering is disabled.

- Otherwise, it accepts a string where each character represents a symbol. Some characters are reserved for counting: - `1` for decimal (`1, 2, 3, ...`) - `a` for lowercase latin alphabet (`a, b, c, ...`) - `A` for uppercase latin alphabet (`A, B, C, ...`) - `i` for lowercase roman numerals (`i, ii, iii, ...`) - `I` for uppercase roman numerals (`I, II, III, ...`)

  Any other character is considered a fixed symbol.

Sample numbering strings are `1.1.1`, `1.A.a`, `A.A`.

    .numbering
        - headings: 1.1
        - figures: 1.a

If this function is not called, the default numbering format is picked depending on the document type.

dictionary of numbering formats for different element types. Built-in keys are:

- `headings`, used for headings (titles) and tableOfContents entries;
