I have not been able to find a reason for this. Is there a log of what Sphinx is doing when it assigns footnote numbers?
After I updated to Sphinx 1.7.1, I noticed an additional symptom - it not only skips numbers in the beginning, but also skips numbers between most chapters. That is, Ch.1 includes footnotes numbered 32-36, then Ch. 2 starts at footnote 51 and goes to 65. There is one place in my document where it doesn't skip numbers between chapters - Ch. 4 has footnotes 104-105 and Ch. 5 has footnotes 106-107. Then Ch. 6 has 123-126 so it's back to skipping numbers. Ch. 4 and Ch. 5 do not have any subheads - they only have one level per chapter. If I get a chance to mock up a project I will see if I can test that question about subheadings being related to the footnote numbering issue; I can't share my actual files publicly and they're a bit complicated. I do get error messages about _all_ of the footnotes when I build - including the ones that don't show up in the document - but I think that the error messages are not related to this problem. (Similar to this case: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/16268/ ) So it seems that the document thinks there's a footnote 1, it just doesn't appear in the final document. pdfTeX warning (dest): name{Hfootnote.3} has been referenced but does not exist , replaced by a fixed one pdfTeX warning (dest): name{Hfootnote.2} has been referenced but does not exist , replaced by a fixed one pdfTeX warning (dest): name{Hfootnote.1} has been referenced but does not exist , replaced by a fixed one I looked at the strategies mentioned in this thread https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/3652 for forcing numbers to restart at each chapter, but I didn't get any of them to work. Resetting the numbers at the beginning of each chapter would be an acceptable workaround. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-users" group.
