Renumber yWriter chapters
This project is maintained by peter88213
yWriter is a free word processor written by Australian author and programmer Simon Haynes.
When you create a new chapter in yWriter, a Name “Chapter x” is preset with x as chapter number. After moving the chapter, you can invoke a renumbering function.
Non-English speakers and writers with special requirements for chapter numbering might like the yw-renumber software, which offers a little more variability here. Chapters can be numbered with Arabic, Roman or written out in English. In addition, the numbers can be preceded by a prefix and followed by a suffix.
yw-renumber works with .yw7 project files.
The yw-renumber script has a graphical user interface. However, a Python 3 installation is required to run it.
Requirements
- Python version 3.6+.
Download and install
Download the latest release (version 2.4.13)
- Unzip the downloaded zipfile “yw-renumber_v2.4.13.zip” into a new folder.
- Move into this new folder and launch setup.pyw. This installs the script for the local user.

Note for Linux users
Please make sure that your Python3 installation has the tkinter module. On Ubuntu, for example, it is not available out of the box and must be installed via a separate package.
