I work for the government, and as such we're quite policy happy and would love to use DocBook for this. I had a project about 6 months ago that stalled because I couldn't work out how to do numbered paragraphs ; Heading 1. some paragraph. 2. some other paragraph. New heading Sub-heading 3. more paragraph. 4. and yet more. etc. It's important here that headings are *not* numbered, and that numbers follow only paragraphs. Any ideas? I tried putting paragraphs into lists, but setting @continuation for each list without heading interfering was more than tricky. If there was an @startingnumber which could take a value "previous-paragraph" then that would solve it, but I think headings are too embedded in the DocBook model to be ignored?
