Re: [docbook-apps] Chapter numbering resets unexpectedly

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

First check to make sure your document is valid DocBook.
Then look for label attributes in your chapter tags. The label
attribute lets you set the chapter number manually.
Those are about the only two things that would cause
the chapter numbers to be off.
