I'm using memoir to typeset a trilogy of fiction books.
I am typesetting them separately (three independent .tex files). I am actually machine generating the LaTeX source with a custom program, but this should not matter here.
I am unable to grasp how to correctly use the
\book command.Obviously I must manually set the book number (at least for second and third book).
I tried using
\setcounter{book}{2}\book{Mondo Antico}, but LaTeX always prints "Book I".This is wrong twice: It should be the second book and it should be localized to Italian; I would like to get something like "Libro II".
What is the right spell?
