#### 17.13.2 Specifying browse numbers

You can specify a starting browse number in the configuration file; if you have more than one file in your project, you can specify a starting number for each. You can also specify a starting browse number in the document itself, in a configuration PI marker (see §42.2.2 Overriding settings with configuration PI markers).

To activate browse sequences for topic titles, in [HelpBrowse] specify TitleBrowse=Yes. Specify the interval to use between browse numbers as Step=5, or just Step=1 if you will never need to interpolate any new ones by hand. Specify the number of digits to use so that you have enough numbers available: Digits=3 allows for 999 topics, Digits=4 allows 9,999. Specify the starting browse number as Start=N, and the browse prefix as Prefix=XX. The default values are as follows:

    [HelpBrowse]
    ; these defaults are for all files processed
    ; override as needed in individual filename.ini files
    ; or using configuration markers in the documents themselves
    Step=5
    Digits=4
    ; make sure each RTF file has a different Start value
    ; allowing room for the numbers used in the earlier files
    Start=5
    Prefix=HLP
