One of the major complaints about Hugo academic is that the Publication list is not numbered. It seems that other people have the same complaint.
I leave a note about forcibly changing the template to number the list. Please note that I am using a very old version of Hugo academic 0.3.0, so it may not work in the current version.
The lines around 50 of themes/academic/layouts/section/publication.html should be revised as follows:
<div id="container-publications"> <ol reversed> {{ range .Pages.ByDate.Reverse }} {{ if .Params.publication_types }} {{ $.Scratch.Set "pubtype" (index .Params.publication_types 0) }} {{ else }} {{ $.Scratch.Set "pubtype" 0 }} {{ end }} <div class="grid-sizer col-lg-12 isotope-item pubtype-{{ $.Scratch.Get "pubtype" }} year-{{ .Date.Format "2006" }}" style="margin-left: 15px"> <li> {{ if eq $.Params.view 1 }} {{ partial "li_list" . }} {{ else if eq $.Params.view 3 }} {{ partial "li_card" . }} {{ else if eq $.Params.view 4 }} {{ partial "li_citation" . }} {{ else }} {{ partial "li_compact" . }} {{ end }} </li> </div> {{ end }} </ol>
