If you tick the Title column AND set up the Title Prefix, you’ll get both: your title and Scrivener’s automatically generated one!ĭecide which you want and change the settings accordingly. If you’d rather number your chapters yourself, or not number them at all – just have the titles you’ve used for the titles of your chapters – that’s simply achieved, by ticking the correct box in the Section Layouts pane. What if you don’t wan’t Scrivener to automatically number your chapters? This can be combined with the ‘:chapter’ in the Title prefix pane – or used for many other auto numbering options. This extract from the complete list of placeholders (available via the Help menu) explains all.Īnd there’s always the simply numbering activate by the ‘n’ tag. There are alternative options for the worded version of a chapter title number: w and W. It results in the words ‘One, ‘Two’, ‘Three’ etc being used to number your chapters. To activate the auto numbering of chapters, you need to put a tag as a title prefix in the Title Options pane (part of the Compile process). You have the option to let Scrivener number your chapters for you using numbers (1, 2, 3, …) or words (one, two, three, …). A complete list is available via the Help Menu.
These are essentially ‘tags’ which are replaced during the Compile process for actual data. There are a host of numbering options, and they are activated using ‘placeholders’. So, today, I’m explaining all – and much else about Scrivener’s auto-numbering feature. For many, this proves to be a stumbling block. One of the most-asked questions when compiling is about chapter numbering.
