You have several numbering options that can be controlled by XSL stylesheet parameters: label.from.part=1 ------------------------ Restarts chapter numbering in each part, like you asked for. *However*, I don't recommend it at the moment, because if you create an xref cross reference to a chapter, it will say "Chapter 1", but not say which chapter. If you are going to restart numbering, it would be better if the chapter were numbered like this so you could tell them apart: Part I Chapter I.1 Chapter I.2 Part II Chapter II.1 Chapter II.2 But this is not a feature of the stylesheets. section.autolabel=1 ----------------------- Turns on section numbering, in this style: Chapter 3. Using a mouse 1. Basic mouse actions sect1 1.1 Left button sect2 1.2 Right button sect2 2. Selecting sect1 2.1 Click and drag 2.2 Double click section.label.includes.component.label=1 ------------------------------------------ Changes the section numbering to include the chapter number as a prefix: Chapter 3. Using a mouse 3.1. Basic mouse actions sect1 3.1.1 Left button sect2 3.1.2 Right button sect2 3.2. Selecting sect1 3.2.1 Click and drag 3.2.2 Double click Perhaps this last option is what you are looking for. It makes cross references precise and easy to find. There isn't a "chapter.label.includes.part.label" parameter to turn on chapter numbering in parts like I.1, II.1, etc. Maybe there should be. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
