Question

The chapter numbers are not being place correctly in print draft outputs.

What is interesting is that the second line for chapter 10 appears to have been indented to accommodate the chapter number. The issue seems to be the first line of paragraphs.
The same sort of thing happens with single column non-justified layout and at wider line spacings.Sometimes the second line is indented for the chapter numbers, sometimes not. But never is the first line correctly placed.

• What might be wrong?
• What might be the fix?
• Any tips on how to trouble shoot this?

Answering my own question, I removed the custom.sty, and Lo! it worked like a charm.

The new questions are:

• What in my style sheet causes chapter number placement to fail?
• What am I allowed to do and what do I need to avoid so as not to break chapter number placement?

Answer 1

It looks like someone modified the printdraft macros. I think you should
start with a fresh version of PrintDraft-mods.tex and modify it. Somebody
has modified it to not print verse 1, so I suspect something else was
accidently modified. Or possibly PrintDraft-mods.sty was modified.
If you want to send me both of those files (from the PrintDraft folder) I
might be able to tell you.

Lorna:

Somebody has modified it to not print verse 1,

I did that in my PrintDraftChanges file. But I would like to know if you see anything else amiss

I don’t see an attachment, does this site not allow attachments?

Instead of doing the verse removal in PrintDraftChanges do it in
PrintDraft-mods,tex

Go into that file and remove the “%” in front of this line (line 56 or
thereabouts):
\OmitVerseNumberOnetrue

In the TeX world the “%” is a commented out line.

See if that does the trick. I suspect whatever you are removing in
PrintDraftChanges is required for use in the macros to trigger the dropchap
number.

CrazyRocky,
Did you ever figure out how to make this change using PrintDraft-mods.tex? I think that will solve your problems. If you need help, let me know.
I also have a special modified PrintDraft-mods.tex file for people who need it for Arabic script.

The other thing that doesn’t look right is that the header for page 9 should be UFUNUO 7-9, no?
