Numbering and Marking Headings and ParagraphsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can number or otherwise mark headings and other types of paragraphs in your text. You can also number headings hierarchically according to the heading level. For example, you can have heading levels 1, 2, and 3 numbered accordingly: 1; 1.1; 1.1.1; 1.2, and so on.

Features

There are several numbering and marking options:

  • Letters

  • Digits

  • Fixed characters, such as *, o, =, -, and so on.

Numbers can be represented as Roman or Arabic numerals. Letters can be written as uppercase or lowercase letters.

You specify the numbering or marking you want to apply to a particular paragraph format. SAPscript automatically carries out the numbering or places the fixed character string that you have chosen before each such paragraph.

Fixed character markings can consist of several characters. You can identify them by left or right delimiters. When number-chaining interdependent paragraphs (such as headings on different levels), a period is used to separate the paragraph numbering.

Example

Delimiters: a) - (a) - a. (and so on)

Chaining: 1.1 - 1.1.1 - 1.2 - 1.2.1 and so on
