Hi Mike, Just a couple of comments: > 1.) use <xsl:text>sect-</xsl:text><xsl:number/>, which I haven't > done throughout the whole transform. It's a wonder that this didn't > bit me before. You may find it helpful to use Allouche's method for getting rid of whitespace here, i.e. use an empty xsl:text element to indicate the end of ignorable whitespace: <xsl:text />sect-<xsl:number /> It's a little shorter, and a little more readable. You don't have to use xsl:text at all if there's no whitespace, of course: <xsl:when test="parent::introduction"><xsl:text>sect-intro</xsl:text><xsl:number format="1" level="single" count="section"/></xsl:when> will produce exactly the same as: <xsl:when test="parent::introduction">sect-intro<xsl:number format="1" level="single" count="section"/></xsl:when> The alternatives: <xsl:when test="parent::introduction"> <xsl:text />sect-intro<xsl:number format="1" level="single" count="section"/> </xsl:when> and: <xsl:when test="parent::introduction"> <xsl:text>sect-intro</xsl:text> <xsl:number format="1" level="single" count="section" /> </xsl:when> just give nicer formatting within the stylesheet (especially if you have a fixed line length). > <xsl:number format="I.1.1" level="multiple" count="//part | chapter > | section"/> The 'count' attribute gives a match expression against which the ancestors and their preceding siblings are matched to create the numbering scheme. In your 'count' attribute, the first term is '//part', which matches any 'part' element that is a descendant of the root node. This will match any 'part' elements that it comes across, as will, simply 'part'. There is never any point in having '//' at the beginning of a match pattern: the only constraint it adds is that the node is a descendant of the root node, which is true for all nodes - it's therefore no constraint at all, and completely superfluous. I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
