Thanks for the details on this one. You're sort of right.
On single step pages, the callout counter must reset after each page (each
step).
For multi-step pages, though, we have multiple steps on a given page. In this
case the callout counter must reset after each page, but *not* each step.
The part of the code that renders callout images got it right, but the code that
composits pages was wrong. I fixed that.
The next thing I noticed was that the the second page of cab, contained two
callouts (front and back), yet the step where front was added was not visible on
the page. I found and fixed this the right way, but unfortunately it requires
changes to relationship between MULTI_STEP BEGIN/ENDs.
I *hate* post-release clarity!
What was:
0 LPUB MULTI_STEP END
0 STEP
0 LPUB MULTI_STEP BEGIN
becomes:
0 STEP
0 LPUB MULTI_STEP END
0 LPUB MULTI_STEP BEGIN
The BEGIN in this example is irrelevent, but put there because you'll find that
sequence in your cab.mpd.
I'll update documentation, and my example files, and create a new release.

| (...) Hi Kevin, It seems the problem lies with callouts rather than the step. I think the callout counter might keep incrementing across steps rather than resetting. Try this file (URL) and you'll see. Tim (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad)
