The The stylesheets output <ol> and <li> and use the standard HTML attributes to control number style. HTML numbering style doesn't include nested numbers, even with CSS. I think you would have to replace the template for orderedlist in a customization layer with one that outputs <dl> lists instead of <ol>. Then a template with match="orderedlist/listitem" could use <xsl:number> to generate the number for the <dt> term. <xsl:number> can do nested numbering like you want. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
