automatically include automatic numbering in a cell style
in [Mathematica]

From: Murray Eisenberg on 3 Aug 2010 06:35 I have a cell style, Exercise, in a style sheet that's just a variant of Text style. Its definition includes option CounterIncrements->"Exercise". That style sheet is applied to a notebook where I'm going to use that style. Three questions: (1) Is there some way of automatically having the number appear at the beginning of any such cell when I create it -- without using menu item Insert > Automatic Numbering. (2) Is there some way of automatically having such a cell begin with the text "Exercise"? (3) Is there some way of automatically having such a cell begin with "Exercise n. " where n is an actual automatic numbering counter value? -- Murray Eisenberg murray(a)math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.

From: David Park on 4 Aug 2010 05:50 What is really needed is a method, perhaps in Workbench, for users to design their own paclet data structures. Then you could build a data file of exercises, a data file of citations you might use, and other personally useful data files. Then you could, for example, draw randomly from an exercise file, number them, format them differently if you wish and maybe do some processing such as selecting random values and computing the answers on the side.

From: Simon on 5 Aug 2010 06:59 Hi Murry, I created a stylesheet which has automatic Exercise numbering and some extra notebook functionality such as a button to step between exercises. You can see it in use in the 2nd year course that Paul Abbott teaches http://units.physics.uwa.edu.au/information_for/current/second_year/am The files for the course are in http://ftp.physics.uwa.edu.au/pub/MATH2200/2010/ Essentially you need something like Cell[StyleData["Exercise"], CellDingbat->TextData[{"Exercise ", CounterBox["Exercise"], ": "}], CounterIncrements->"Exercise", FontFamily->"Arial", FontSize->12, FontWeight->"Bold"] I can email you the styesheet and assignment template if you wish.
