Restarting footnote numbering: determining 'section'

Dear Mellel Wisdom,

I have selected 'restart numbering each section' in the footnote style dialogue, yet, my footnaote remain continuously number. The document in question is a book where Level 1 (in autotitles) are chapters.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Have you put a section break at the end of each chapter?

:oops:

Oops.

I'd better put the kettle on. Thanks Nicka.

No problem. It would be nice if footnote numbering could be coordinated with an outline level, rather than depending on manual section breaks.

I mentioned this issue to the redlers, since it is more intuitive to me to structure long texts using outline elements. Ori or Eyal had a conceptually sound reply, I don't remember exactly what it was, that convinced me that their approach was reasonable.

Still, while it is good to have section breaks reseting footnote numbers, I would like the ability to embed section breaks in autotitles.
