# Numbering ## `numbering` Applies a numbering to a sequence of numbers. A numbering defines how a sequence of numbers should be displayed as content. It is defined either through a pattern string or an arbitrary function. A numbering pattern consists of counting symbols, for which the actual number is substituted, their prefixes, and one suffix. The prefixes and the suffix are repeated as-is. # Example ```example #numbering("1.1)", 1, 2, 3) \ #numbering("1.a.i", 1, 2) \ #numbering("I – 1", 12, 2) \ #numbering( (..nums) => nums .pos() .map(str) .join(".") + ")", 1, 2, 3, ) ``` # Numbering patterns and numbering functions There are multiple instances where you can provide a numbering pattern or function in Typst. For example, when defining how to number [headings]($heading) or [figures]($figure). Every time, the expected format is the same as the one described below for the [`numbering`]($numbering.numbering) parameter. The following example illustrates that a numbering function is just a regular [function] that accepts numbers and returns [`content`]. ```example #let unary(.., last) = "|" * last #set heading(numbering: unary) = First heading = Second heading = Third heading ``` ## Parameters ### numbering *(required)* Defines how the numbering works. **Counting symbols** are `1`, `a`, `A`, `i`, `I`, `α`, `Α`, `一`, `壹`, `あ`, `い`, `ア`, `イ`, `א`, `가`, `ㄱ`, `*`, `١`, `۱`, `१`, `১`, `ক`, `①`, and `⓵`. They are replaced by the number in the sequence, preserving the original case. The `*` character means that symbols should be used to count, in the order of `*`, `†`, `‡`, `§`, `¶`, `‖`. If there are more than six items, the number is represented using repeated symbols. **Suffixes** are all characters after the last counting symbol. They are repeated as-is at the end of any rendered number. **Prefixes** are all characters that are neither counting symbols nor suffixes. They are repeated as-is at in front of their rendered equivalent of their counting symbol. This parameter can also be an arbitrary function that gets each number as an individual argument. When given a function, the `numbering` function just forwards the arguments to that function. While this is not particularly useful in itself, it means that you can just give arbitrary numberings to the `numbering` function without caring whether they are defined as a pattern or function. ### numbers *(required)* The numbers to apply the numbering to. Must be positive. If `numbering` is a pattern and more numbers than counting symbols are given, the last counting symbol with its prefix is repeated. ## Returns - any
