In case an author requires to identify a document element to the reader, for instance a numbering of paragraphs or sentences, the Content Marker Macro allows to employ a page-related auto-numbering and provides means to specify the format in which these consecutive numbers are rendered.
Implementation
For this example there are three definition and two explanations within a chapter.
Each content marker has an identifier (D.1, E.1, D.2, D.3, and Example.1) and a Render Counter (definition or explanation).
The identifier is not related to the render counter. It is probably more stable to identify the element not by the sequence name. If they are not related, references to the content need not to be changed if another content of the same type is added in front at a later time. You may either use a text phrase or some arbitrary identifier.
Styling the Render Counter
Without any formatting, the rendered content looks like this:
You may add appropriate styles for your design to you space or site style sheet. Alternatively you may use a render template or combine the two approaches.
Render Counter Template
Add the style information as a space property named projectdoc.renderCounterElement.template. and append your render counter name (e.g. projectdoc.renderCounterElement.template.definition).
For a layout with tooltip you may use the Layout Element Macro.
Define the label for the counter in the body of the Layout Element Macro.
Note the use of {} as a placeholder for the consecutive element counters.
The rendered content is now:
