Subject: Setting structureuservariable
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:39:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAK5aKC8Xnk+ELL8yewR7SuOj+E9fJvOPtgqRRr8Ea6fEDVqRig@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello all,

I've discovered the magic of structureuservariabl and have therefore
converted all my headings to use the start/stop syntax. It's raised a
few quick questions though:

1. Is \startchapter \stopchapter etc the "proper way" to do things
from now on? Or is it really just up to the user?
2. Is there a way to provide a default value for a
structureuservariable? I'd like to set a reference number based on a
global counter if the user doesn't supply their own.
3. In a similar vein - is it possible to define a reference for a
section if the user doesn't provide one. E.g. if they provide

\startchapter[title=My Example Chapter]

instead of:

\startchapter[chap:examplechapter][title=My Example Chapter]

can I set the reference for them? (I will have some sections that
could be usefully auto-referenced).

Many thanks in advance,

Felix
