I am desperately looking for automatic, dynamic figure numbering and referencing in text. Would jump QXP for this feature alone. Similar to the old Virginia System InSeq plug in for ID, or what Mellel word-processor does. Keeping track of 1000 figures in as many pages is not to be done manually anymore.
Cross-references are a complex feature that will come later.
We intend that the paragraph list formatting be usable for automatic figure numbering. Essentially, if you make a numbered list, give it a name like "Figure" and tick the Global option, set Restart numbering to Manual Only, and set the text to something like "Figure \#", then it will insert a number at the front of the paragraph that increments automatically as other figures are added before it in the document.
