Hi All

 

Is there any javascript coding for changing page number to roman (i.e., i, ii, iii, etc.) in between the documents using xml tags or styles

 

Please help me.

    We use this function to convert decimal to roman numbers:

     

    function decimalToRoman(decimalNumber) {
      var romanString="";
      var equivalences={M:1000,CM:900,D:500,CD:400,C:100,XC:90,L:50,XL:40,X:10, IX:9,V:5,IV:4,I:1};
      for (var i in equivalences) {
        while (decimalNumber>=equivalences[i] ) {
          romanString=romanString+i;
          decimalNumber=decimalNumber-equivalences[i];
        }
      }
      return romanString;
    }

     

    Don´t know if this helps

    Hi Saju,

     

    I think you expect this: if it is wrong can you explain details what you want exactly.

     

     

    app.documents[0].sections[0].pageNumberStyle = PageNumberStyle.LOWER_LETTERS;

     

    regards

    Hi Joe and Sundar,

     

    Thanks for your speedy reply.

     

    Actually my document contains Front-Matter and Chapters

     

    Frontmatter starts with page number - i, ii, iii, iv, etc., (i.e., in roman numbers)

     

    Chapters starts with page number - 1, 2, 3, 4 ... (in arabic)

     

    Is there any syntax for defining starting page numbers using XML tags or Styles.

     

    Please help.
