Re: DOCBOOK: Automatic TOC generation

[Stéphane Bline <sbline@apsydev.com>]

Well Norm, it does not work.
The generation seems to loop forever.
I had a look at the dbcommon.dsl file and got a question:
If we change the chapter-number-restart-list, shouldn't we change the
chapter-number-ignore-list too ?
I tried to do that:
(define (chapter-number-restart-list cmp)   (list (normalize "part")))
(define (chapter-number-ignore-list cmp)   '())

and it still wouldn"t work. What am I missing here ??????
Help !
