The XSL stylesheets support a few processing instructions for line numbering. See: http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/SolveProblems.html#LineNumbering But there isn't a PI for 'linenumbering.startnumber'. That would make a nice feature request, if you want to file one on the DocBook SourceForge site. Since line numbering is handled by stylesheet extensions in saxon and xalan, to customize it yourself you would need to program the extensions to handle the new variable. -- 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
