This is a personal project to add paragraph numbers to .docx documents. I use these for beta reading books, so that all readers can reference a specific paragraph. Chapters should reset the numbering if they are titled as chapters. The project currently relies on the python-docx package, but hopefully I can rewrite it to parse the underlying xml once I figure out how to query for the right nodes.
Clone the git repository.
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python addnumsboth.py <filename>.docx
This will produce an output file <filename> with inline numbers.docx that should have the proper paragraph numbers.
- Clean up command line interface and add options for viewing the xml file instead of commenting/uncommenting code.
- Rewrite code to use the built-in python xml parser and insert the paragraph numbers without any other modification of the underlying text.
- Re-add code to insert both inline and margin numbers, to be more friendly to kindle formatting.
