Callouts and numbering

["Andreas Lalloo" <andreas.lalloo@appmind.com>]

Hello!

 

I've encountered a situation where one of the writers has somehow produced a <calloutlist> (and corresponding <co>) in an appendix which continues its numeration from a previous callout, in a previous chapter. I minimized the example to a

 <para>

  <userinput> text <co id="a"/></userinput>

 </para>

 

still showing the problem. Changing the <para> to <screen> makes the callout being numbered from 1 again, like I want it.

 

The documentation of <co> says it can be the child of a <userinput> or a <screen> - which it is in both variants - but I cannot find any information under which conditions the callout numbering is reset to start from 1 again. Does anybody know the details?

 

In this case the writer uses the <co> in a <procedure> <step> <userinput> construct which validates fine, but gives wrong output. We are using DTD 4.3, xslt 1.67.2 (xsltproc-RenderX processing).
