org-export-section-number-format, doc typo and question

[Robert Klein]

Hi,

theres a type in org-exp.el: in the documentation to  
org-export-section-number-format, there's twice the counter type "a"; the  
second time it should be an "i", I think:

 From org-exp.el:

1. A list of lists, each indicating a counter type and a separator.
    The counter type can be any of \"1\", \"A\", \"a\", \"I\", or \"a\".
    It causes causes numeric, alphabetic, or roman counters, respectively.


To my question, I can't seem to get this option to work I've got the
following line in the file header:


#+OPTIONS: section-number-format:(quote ((("I" ".")) . "."))


Despite this I get sections numbered 1, 2, 3 etc.

I'd be very grateful for a working example.

Thank you very much
Robert

Hi Robert,

I think you need to set the variable instead

(setq org-export-section-number-format '((("I" ".")) . "."))

or via the customize interface.

HTH,

This also seems to work

#+BIND: org-export-section-number-format ((("I" ".")) . ".")

Hi Bernt,

thank you very much!

I´ll got with the #+BIND: at the moment.  I suspect the setq
will cause all my files to be in roman...

btw, a great many thanks, too, for the documentation at norang.ca.

It was a great help and I suspect it will continue to be of help
for quite a while to come.

Best wishes
Robert
