If you
are just getting started with DocBook, I would recommend my
free online book "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide". In this
section of the book:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SectionNumbering.html
it says
that "To turn on basic section numbering, set
the section.autolabel
parameter to 1". Stylesheet parameters can be set on the command
line or in an XSL customization layer as described elsewhere in
the book.
Once section numbering is turned on, the @label value on a sect1
element will override the default number.

Hi,
I’m entirely new to DocBook and am trying
to use it in Oxygen’s XML Editor (v. 21). I’m trying to
convert a client’s native XML to DocBook for use.
I have a document with <sect1> as a
root element and subsections and the @label attribute does not
work:
- In Oxygen
Author mode section labels are prefixed with the label of
the component that contains them (I want to turn that off),
plus the actual @label value is ignored (autonumbering takes
over), e.g., <sect1 label=”Chapter 6”> appears in
Oxygen as “Section 1:”
- In PDF the
@label value is simply ignored.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Brendan Martin
