RE: [docbook-apps] HTML Formatting Procedure Steps

[Jeff Beal <jeff.beal@ansys.com>]

I see you already solved this to your liking, which is fine, but did you
ever try using step titles?

<procedure>
 <step>
  <title>Do the first thing</title>
  <para>What we'll do next in a conceptual 
 overview, and why.</para>
 </step>
 <step>
  <title>Do the next thing</title>
  <para>...</para>
 </step>
</procedure>

The rendering on this isn't *exactly* what you seem to be looking for, but
should be relatively easy to customize.  The benefit to this approach is
that it keeps the semantic meaning of a procedure intact.
