[oXygen-user] Recursive Root Element In CSS

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Betty,

The problem with your initial CSS is probably related to not resetting 
the counter. Basically the counter for section N should be reset on any 
section N-1.

I will be in US in a couple of weeks for the DITA North America 
conference in Providence, RI. It will be great to meet you there if you 
attend the DITA conference again.

Best Regards,
George
