Hi Hussein, Thanks for the response!
I am using a version of the XSLTs and am modifying them directly (this is temporary, until my company brings on an individual with a more sophisticated skill set than I have in this area, so that they can focus on this side of our workload. At that point we will start over using the OOB scripts and will remove the numbering properly -- see below). I was only able to get the numbers to go away when I removed the numberList value (changed to "''"). They did indeed go away! The changes I made to the default commonParams.xsl are here: <xsl:param name="number" select="''"/> <xsl:variable name="numberList" select="''"/> <!-- 'I', 'i', 'A', 'a', '1' --> <xsl:param name="part-number-format" select="'I'"/> <xsl:param name="appendix-number-format" select="'A'"/> <xsl:param name="prepend-chapter-to-section-number" select="'no'"/> I tried various combinations of the values of number (including none), prepend-chapter-to-section-number, and then removed the numberLlist value itself. No worries! They went away literally the first attempt after I sent you this email. Which was very amusing. james -----Original Message----- From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 1:14 AM To: James Scott Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ditac] Topic numbering in a PDF James Scott wrote: > > I would like to disable the topic-level, hierarchical numbering that is > occurring in the PDF output.

For example: --- ditac -ignoreoptionsfile -xep /opt/xep/xep -filter print.ditaval \ -p number all \ -p use-note-icon yes \ -p two-sided no \ -p justified yes \ -p hyphenate yes \ manual.pdf manual.ditamap --- gives me a manual.pdf where chapters and topics acting as sections (manual.ditamap is a bookmap) are numbered. While: --- ditac -ignoreoptionsfile -xep /opt/xep/xep -filter print.ditaval \ -p number none \ -p use-note-icon yes \ -p two-sided no \ -p justified yes \ -p hyphenate yes \ manual.pdf manual.ditamap --- gives me a manual.pdf where chapters and topics acting as sections are *not* numbered (not in the TOC, nor in the headers). Same behavior with a map instead of a bookmap. -- XMLmind DITA Converter Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/ditac-support
