  4. Chapter Number in Running Head as Hebrew Characters

By default Publishing Assistant puts European (Western Arabic) digits in running headers for chapter and verse numbers. It looks like this.

European (Western Arabic) numbers in the running header

But you might want or be asked to put chapter numbers as Hebrew characters. This is how you can do this.

First have a look at this Wiki article about Hebrew numerals.

Then start to edit your headerChanges.txt

Each line finds an Arabic number followed by dot (full stop), i.e. it finds a chapter number. Then it replaces it with corresponding Hebrew letter/number.

Please pay attention to the order of lines. It is important to change three-digits numbers first (up to 150 or 151), then double-digits and finally single digit ones.

After editing and saving headerChanges.txt you proceed with creating document or updating header if you already created document and adjusted pages.

The result should look like that.
