And the results are in! In my last blog post I raised the question about changing the numbering on my chapters, in a situation where multiple sections had multiple chapters. I had been numbering the chapters in each section starting with 1 and working up, so that if there were five chapters, there would be five Chapter 1s. The suggestion was to make the chapters sequential, so that if Section 1 ended with Chapter 4, Section 2 would start with Chapter 5. Here's the results:
Keep it the same - 10
A modified version of keep it the same. Number the chapters 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, etc. - 4
Sequential numbering - 18
Don't care, do what you want, or I simply couldn't understand the response - 10
Sequential numbering won, but that's not the only reason I changed the numbering. It turns out that when you are uploading new chapters, the system asks for a new chapter number based on the last chapter number. If you are uploading Section 4, Chapter 3, it simply reports the next chapter is 4. There is no way of knowing which section this is for. It's a bit confusing. Going to a sequential system avoids this.
PS: I committed an anachronism in Chapter 9. Thank you, starfiend, for the help. Fixed.
