Re feature requests, the bootstrap pages need purple numbers for graphics and
for tables as well. Furthermore, we need to renumber from time to time when
paragraphs, etc. are deleted or added, i.o.w. we need to remove existing
numbers and replace them.by new numbers. In some cases (see e.g. on page
http://www.bootstrap.org/chronicle/curatorial/press/press-.html )
I use reverse chronological numbering to avoid renumbering when doing updates,
but Doug Engelbart is not keen about that. He merely tolerates me doing so. So
here again, the renumbering feature would be helpful.
It would be best if I could begin numbering at any heading of my choice. If
looking at bootstrap pages, it would be best to look at the ones without
margins. There is some aditional fudging going on in the margins as you may
observe by comparing the pages with margins with those without margins.
I very much appreciate your efforts,
