| Hi,
|
| I produce PDF from DocBook XML using openjade and pdftex.  I am autolabelling 
| sections by enabling "section-autolabel" in my DSSSL stylesheet.  This works 
| O.K. except that all the numbers produced have a trailing period that I would 
| rather not have... e.g. instead of this:
|
| 1.1. A day in the life of a life scientist
|
| I'd prefer this:
|
| 1.1 A day in the life of a life scientist
|
| Is there any way to do this?

Yes. Redefine en-label-title-sep; change section to be " " instead of ". ".

(define (en-label-title-sep)
  (list
   (list (normalize "abstract")		": ")
   (list (normalize "answer")		" ")
   (list (normalize "appendix")		". ")
   (list (normalize "caution")		"")
   (list (normalize "chapter")		". ")
   (list (normalize "equation")		". ")
   (list (normalize "example")		". ")
   (list (normalize "figure")		". ")
   (list (normalize "footnote")		". ")
   (list (normalize "glosssee")		": ")
   (list (normalize "glossseealso")	": ")
   (list (normalize "important")	": ")
   (list (normalize "note")		": ")
   (list (normalize "orderedlist")	". ")
   (list (normalize "part")		". ")
   (list (normalize "procedure")	". ")
   (list (normalize "prefix")		". ")
   (list (normalize "question")		" ")
   (list (normalize "refentry")		"")
   (list (normalize "reference")	". ")
   (list (normalize "refsect1")		". ")
   (list (normalize "refsect2")		". ")
   (list (normalize "refsect3")		". ")
   (list (normalize "sect1")		". ")
   (list (normalize "sect2")		". ")
   (list (normalize "sect3")		". ")
   (list (normalize "sect4")		". ")
   (list (normalize "sect5")		". ")
   (list (normalize "section")		". ")
   (list (normalize "simplesect")	". ")
   (list (normalize "seeie")		" ")
   (list (normalize "seealsoie")	" ")
   (list (normalize "step")		". ")
   (list (normalize "table")		". ")
   (list (normalize "tip")		": ")
   (list (normalize "warning")		"")
   ))

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
