Incremental IDs plugin - Page 2

WS64 · 08-27-2017, 04:07 PM

No idea why one would need incremental IDs...
I use this plugin to add incremental IDs to headers, and in a second search and replace step I'll number my headlines (and remove the IDs).
I doubt the plugin was made for that, but it works for me that way ;)

One thing that really gets me is useless IDs. I do remove them when I see them.

This is how I use it mostly as well...especially when I am trying to put a chapter number or something into the toc and it doesn't have one originally....

BUT.... It is certainly possible to use an incremented ID. For example: if you have lots of images and want to put specific css for each individual image...then give the ID an incremented name and style it to #img01, #img02, #img03, etc.

Code:

img       {width:50%}
#img01 {max-width:300px}
#img02 {max-width:400px}
#img03 {max-width:525px}

<body>
<div id="img01"><img alt="" src="../Images/img1.jpg" /></div>
<div id="img02"><img alt="" src="../Images/img2.jpg" /></div>
<div id="img03"><img alt="" src="../Images/img3.jpg" /></div>
</body>

edit: I meant ID when I typed class...

I've attached a new version, which requires Sigil 0.9.8 or higher, to the first post. The new version allows users to automatically add title attributes with consecutive numbers, e.g. title="Chapter I", in addition to ids with consecutive numbers.

Very Nice! Thanks!!

Arrgghhh! Where was this plugin two months back when I was adding chapter numbers to an ebook which used 117 images with entertaining graphics as the chapter numbers? Pretty on the page but useless for generating a meaningful TOC. At least regex/S&R kept it from taking too long.

Ooppss.. there went slot 5 for the plugins. More please, sir?

Hi,
maybe you can consider creating leading zeroes to get a fix length in the numbering?

instead of c1, c2, c3, ... c9, c10, c11..

c001, ..., c009, c010, c011...

IDs are then sorted correctly e.g. in the add id command in sigil

Done. The latest version will add up to three leading zeros (0001-9999).

Hi,

that was really quick. So quick that you forgot the osx in the OS list in the plugin.xml file.

Thanks. Useful for adding chapter numbers, not just IDs.

There is a "?" button, for Help, that does not appear to do anything, for me at least, using Sigil.9.9 on Win.

Works great, thanks

I have a backward request, return as was or make a choice

I've added an "Add leading zeros" option.

Running this plugin a second time renumbers the iDs of the selected tag. This will, of course, break any links to targets whose IDs have changed. Is there any chance that this plugin will be updated so that it automatically updates anchor tags that point to an element whose ID has been changed?

Since such a feature would require major code changes, it's highly unlikely that it'll be added in a future version.

Hello,

Would you consider some way to id some set of tags hierarchically? Maybe there are other uses, though I am thinking of sections and subsections, e.g. H2 as sec1, H3 as sec1.X, H4 as sec1.X.X, etc. Such would allow XHTML TOCs with sections that may not have such numbering as text, but using such text in the TOC, and maybe there are other uses such as goto id or find or other.
