AUTONUM_FORMAT

Specify the format of the text string to draw when using AUTONUM.

Parameters

If the format string contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks. Without quotation marks, only the first word is used.

Examples

AUTONUM=1, with AUTONUM_FORMAT="%d"

DigiNG would insert the following texts:

1

2

3

AUTONUM=1, with AUTONUM_FORMAT="%5d"

The "%5d" format sets a minimum width of 5 characters and pads the number with leading spaces. DigiNG would insert the following texts:

    1

    2

    3

AUTONUM=1, with AUTONUM_FORMAT="%05d"

The "%05d" format sets a minimum width of 5 characters and pads the number with leading zeros to produce, for example, "00001" instead of "1". DigiNG would insert the following texts:

00001

00002

00003

AUTONUM=1, with AUTONUM_FORMAT="PK %05d de P11"

PK 00001 de P11

PK 00002 de P11

PK 00003 de P11

Notes

The default value is "%d" (insert the number at this position). Without parameters, the command prompts for the format in the status bar and displays the current value. If you enter an empty string, "%d" is assigned.

If the format string has more than one conversion, or a conversion that is not an integer conversion, TEXT and ADD use "%d".
