Author Mode - Numbering of XIncluded documents reset

[Zearin]

The Context
I'm editing a DocBook “Book” element. It contains Parts, lots of Chapters, and lots of Sections. Therefore, I have used plenty of XIncludes to manage all the content better.

The Problem
However, when I go to an included file in Author mode, the numbering for the Chapter/Section/whatever is reset. So I might be editing Chapter 24, but it is labelled as Chapter 1.

The Question
This is actually more than an inconvenience, because I'm referring to a hardcopy of the book and it completely throws off my place when the numbering is reset. I did look around the help files and searched these forums for a solution, but I didn't find much for this specific problem. (A couple of “close-but-no-cigar” results.)

Am I missing something? Is there an oXygen processing instruction to fix this? (Or anything else, for that matter?)

Hello,

In the current version (11.0) you can avoid re-numbering the included part when it is opened as a separate file by disabling the chapter numbers in the default DocBook CSS stylesheet, that is ${frameworks}/docbook/css/docbook.css. Please remove all occurences of counter(chapter_count) from that CSS stylesheet.

Other option could be editing the XIncluded part in place in the context of the containing document but that is not implemented yet in Author mode.
