I filed this also as an RFE¹ but haven't gotten any feedback so far; trying here instead.
What would be the most plausible way to generate automatic section numbers with the following requirements: - Not all sections are numbered. Multiple blocks of sections *are* numbered, with the numbering restarting in between. (It seems Sphinx already handles this case just fine by using multiple toctree directives, so that's good.) - Section numbers need to be preceded by other text, e.g. "Appendix". - Different blocks of numbered sections need to use different numbering schemes. In particular, the aforementioned appendices should use Roman numerals (I, II, etc.). Is there any way to accomplish this that doesn't require either a) modifying the guts of Sphinx itself, or b) duplicating lots and lots of low-level Sphinx code? (I initially tried to replicate how Sphinx auto-numbering works, but it looked like I was going to have to replicate significant parts of Sphinx for that approach to be feasible.) If the right answer is to change Sphinx, what would be the recommended way to implement these features such that they can be incorporated into upstream? (And, on a related note, is there a way in Python, or even better, already in Sphinx itself, to translate integers to Kanji numbers, Hebrew numbers, etc.?)
