|         Chapter 1

|     Part II
|         Chapter 1

|  Any way I can do this ?

Um, yes. Try this in your stylesheet:

(define (chapter-number-restart-list cmp)   (list (normalize "book")
                                                  (normalize "part")))
(define (appendix-number-restart-list cmp)  (list (normalize "book")
                                                  (normalize "part")
						  (normalize "article")))

| * Is it possible to selectively disable/enable the automatic TOC generation
| (using PIs in the XML source for instance ?)

Nope. What specific sort of control would you like to have?

                                        Be seeing you,
