      Hey Guys,

      I’m trying to create my own variable, but im stuck a some point.

      I would like to creat a vraiable based on the ‘image name’ variable. In the end I’m looking for something that looks like this:
      Figure (section marker) – (number) (title of the image) -> Figure 1 – 1 this looks awesome.jpeg

      I found something via numbering to use Figure as prefix, to get the number and counting and the title of the image. The only thing I cant get done is to get an automatic section number. Right now I’m using ^H-^#, to get the numbers, is there any other command to get the section marker instead of the ^H or am I completely wrong?

      Any help would be wonderful!

      Cheers Arie

      There are many ways to do figure numbering, including:

      I would use a live caption to get the image title.

      You can get the section marker from insert special characters > markers > section
