Use the sequenceNumbers parameter to set or query the size, type, and location of the sequence numbers. The sequence numbers may consist of a numeric part, a text part, or a numeric part and an adjacent text part.

sequenceNumbers is scoped to the current view's document.
current.sequenceNumbers is scoped to the current view's document.
default.sequenceNumbers is globally scoped.
install.sequenceNumbers is globally scoped.
query sequenceNumbers set sequenceNumbers [ default | numColumn numWidth [ textColumn textWidth ] ] query current.sequenceNumbers query default.sequenceNumbers set default.sequenceNumbers [ install | numColumn numWidth [ textColumn textWidth ] ] query install.sequenceNumbers
default | If you specify the default parameter for the set sequenceNumbers command, the current document will use the value of default.sequenceNumbers to determine the sequence numbers. |
numColumn numWidth textColumn textWidth |
If you specify the width and column
parameters for the set sequenceNumbers command, the specified width
and column will be used to determine the current document's sequence numbers.
If you specify the width and column parameters for the set default.sequenceNumbers
command, the specified width and column will be used to determine the sequence numbers
for all of the documents that have sequenceNumbers set to default.
Use the numColumn parameter to specify the starting column of the numeric part of the document's sequence numbers, and the numWidth parameter to specify its width. Use the textColumn parameter to specify the starting column of the text part of the document's sequence numbers, and the textWidth parameter to specify its width. |
install | If you specify the install parameter for the set default.sequenceNumbers command, all of the documents that have sequenceNumbers set to default will use the value of install.sequenceNumbers to determine the document's sequence numbers. |
If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set sequenceNumbers command, default is assumed. If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set default.sequenceNumbers command, install is assumed.
The query current.sequenceNumbers command returns the sequence numbers settings being used by the current document.
