**-014 [intro.defs] Do not number singular examples #556

Closed jensmaurer closed 9 months ago

jensmaurer commented 9 months ago

If only one example is present in a term entry in Clause 3, it shall not be numbered (different from the rule for notes to entry).

Please unnumber the examples in Clause 3 if there is only one in a term entry. Also remove the colon.

jensmaurer commented 9 months ago

Check the Directives, Part 2, whether that is true (why is clause 3 so different from the rest?), and fix accordingly.

Didn't we have a LaTeX patch that removed the numbering if only a single note (or example) was present? Now seems the time to apply it, at least selectively.

jensmaurer commented 9 months ago

ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, 9th ed:

25.3 Numbering and subdivision Within a given clause or subclause, examples shall be numbered sequentially. The numbering restarts at each new subdivision. A single example in a subdivision shall not be numbered.

tkoeppe commented 9 months ago

This is all part of the same problem. I have this logic in principle, but there's something wrong in Clause 3.

tkoeppe commented 9 months ago

Accepted and fixed. I don't know what "remove the colon" is referring to, though.

JohelEGP commented 9 months ago

FWIW, the examples from the directives use a colon: https://www.iso.org/sites/directives/current/part2/index.xhtml#_idTextAnchor228.

tkoeppe commented 9 months ago

Yes, maybe that's what they were referring to, as in "you removed a colon (from the notes to entry)"...
