Stephen:
It looks like you have the numbering of each node working okay, it's the numbering of the parent that's not working.
that second <xsl:number ...> is still taking the current node matched by the template as its context node. The 'count' attribute identifies what nodes should be counted, but it doesn't change the fact that the number inserted is 'based on the position of the current node in the source tree' [XSLT 7.7].
So to count the parent, you have to change the current node to be the parent of the node your template has matched, for that invocation of the <xsl:number/> instruction. You can do this by wrapping it in a for-each like so:
which will count the correct nodes ... then you'll have to adjust the 'count' attribute to count the correct nodes (I'll leave you to figure that out).

That's because when you say <xsl:text>Section </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="@title"/> <xsl:text> (</xsl:text> <xsl:number level="multiple" count="section" format="1.1.0"/> <xsl:text>, parent </xsl:text> <xsl:number level="multiple" count="section/section" format="1.1.0"/> <xsl:text>)</xsl:text>

Good luck, Wendell

Hello all,
I have numbering difficulty. I'm trying to number sections hierarchically, and also to include the number of their parent section, if they have any, or their own number if they are a top-level section. This is what I have: ...
