Re: Adding a step number to a 1-step task

Can I request a feature enhancement for a future oxygen release? At least to make this a flag or an xsl extension point?

Adding a step number to a 1-step task

In a DITA task file, if the taskbody > steps has only one STEP element, the resulting web output does not add the "1.".
Even if it's a single step, I still want the "1" to appear in the ::before area of the resulting HTML span. Where can I edit this option?

I have a complete repair manual with hundreds of procedures. Many of these procedures link to each other.

When a procedure links to another, is there a way to display the linked procedure in the same window, perhaps *in place of* the link? Could a smaller frame open? Any ideas?
