Re: [NTG-context] SimpleSlides and Visual counters

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your attention. Indeed I could have asked you, but since Aditya answered my previous message I continued asking him… Anyway, you are correct: replacing PageNumber with RealPageNumber everywhere, the visual counter is shown correctly… For the sake of the mail archives, in case someone else encounters the issue, I add the example below. Many thanks for help !

Hi Aditya, Some time ago I reported an issue with LMTX regarding your visual counter (at least the version used in the simpleslides module). Now I think I have found where the issue comes from: it is due to the fact that somehow the conditional if PageNumber > 2 :

[some code] fi ;

Hi Otared,

I'm not Aditya, but I've encountered the same problem within simpleslides. Can you replace PageNumber with RealPageNumber and see whether this solves your problem?

Best
