Re: [docbook-apps] Having chapter titles with numbers and figures without chapter prefix

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hello,
Hmm, setting prefix to an empty string worked for me.  What processor did 
you use?  The choose statement has only two choices, so if you got 
per-chapter numbering you should also have gotten the separator character.

I'm not sure I understand your question about page numbers restarting.  The 
default behavior is to not restart page numbering on each chapter.  In any 
case, the template named 'initial.page.number' in fo/pagesetup.xsl is 
called at the beginning of each page-sequence to add the 
initial-page-number FO property.  You can customize that as needed.
