Numbered wrong when migrating from jupyter-book to Sphinx

[luweizheng]

Describe the bug

context I have built a site with jupyter-book successfully. Now I want to use the features of sphinx-book-theme so I migrate from jupyter-book to sphinx.

I use the generated conf.py with

extensions = ['sphinx_external_toc',]
external_toc_exclude_missing = True
external_toc_path = '_toc.yml'

and my _toc.yml remains the same like:

format: jb-book
root: index
parts:
  - caption: 引言
    numbered: true
    chapters:
    - file: ch-intro/index
      sections:
        - file: ch-intro/computer-architecture
        - file: ch-intro/thread-process
  
  - caption: Dask
    numbered: true
    chapters:
    - file: ch-dask/index
      sections:
        - file: ch-dask/dask-intro

But it turns out that it cannot continue numbers between different chapters.

I use a workaround to fix this issue:

root: index
subtrees:
- numbered: true
  entries:
  - file: ch-intro/index
    entries:
    - file: ch-intro/computer-architecture
    - file: ch-intro/thread-process
  - file: ch-dask/index
    entries:
    - file: ch-dask/dask-intro

The UI is slightly different now:

Nice workaround @luweizheng. Sorry for the delay in commenting on this.

I suspect the main issue with the first configuration is you would need to add numbered: true to the top level configuration (rather than add it to each part as the numbering resets).

Thanks for you reply!

The conf in sphinx-multitoc-numbering is a little bit different from sphinx-external-toc. sphinx-external-toc's doc does not have part keyword.

Hi @mmcky

Are there any solutions? sphinx-external-toc's doc does not have part keyword.
