[Sabu Nair]

Hi,

We user confluence version 5.7 server .

I am trying to setup documentation system and have a requirement to generate automated number for each page. ( DOC001 ,DOC002 ...) . Is it possible in Confluence ?.

You can use CSS counters to automatically number pages, headings or any other html element.

Thanks Milo and Steffen for the response. Can you please provide an example how to implement the solution.

We had a similar request for a solution in Confluence and solved it by using an Event Listener of the app Adaptavist Scriptrunner for Confluence. It fires each time a page updates and every page with a specific label automatically updates the page title with a prefix and incrementing number. The solution is described here:

Hi,

Our Page Tree Creator (PTC) supports consecutive numbers. They can be built up by string, numbers, calculations (currentYear - 1971), etc.

Check out our LIVE EXAMPLES (no registration needed).

Give it a try: Marketplace link Page Tree Creator.

You can use "Requirement Yogi for cofluence" add-on to generate the requirements keys automated within page or common across space also.

Thanks Milo and Steffen. Appreciate your answers. Both the solutions worked perfect for me.

If you want to add numbers to a html element (for example: h1) you can do this with:

body {  
counter-reset: levelA;   
}  
  
h1:before {  
content: counter(levelA) ". ";  
counter-increment: levelA;  
}

What I don't know yet:

• Do you want it for PDF or for html?
• Do you want to number (1) separate documents or (2) pages within a document? Milo's approach will only work for (1), mine will only work for (2)

In the Create Page Macro, enter the document name in the Title field.

This will create a new document thusly:

The %ident% auto-increments the number in the name.

Thank you . This was useful

You can use the Create Page macro to do this. It allows you to add bits to the created page's title.
