Text Formatting ⇒ How to have numbered poem titles ?

[PierreJ]

That sounds silly, but I can't find a way to number poem titles, like "1. First poem", "2. Second poem", etc., instead of "First poem", "Second poem", etc. Thanks a lot for your help!

Code: Select all

% XeLaTeX, manual
\documentclass[twoside,french,10pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\usepackage{verse, gmverse} 

\begin{document}

   \poemtitle{Poem's title}
   \begin{verse}
      ... Poem body ...
   \end{verse}

\end{document}

I've found a way (I should have thought of it right away!).

In the preamble:

Code: Select all

\newcounter{poem}
\setcounter{poem}{0}

For each poem title, instead of the line "\poemtitle{Some title}", the following two lines:

Code: Select all

\stepcounter{poem}
\poemtitle{\arabic{poem}.\; Some title}
