RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Can I turn off numbering for Sections 3-5?

[Jeff Beal]

There's no parameter or other easy method for doing this, but I was just
looking through the labelling code and found this template:

<xsl:template name="label.this.section">
  <xsl:param name="section" select="."/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
</xsl:template>

My guess is that if you change that to this:

<xsl:template name="label.this.section">
  <xsl:param name="section" select="."/>
  <xsl:variable name="elementname" select="local-name($section)"/>
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$elementname = sect1">
      <xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$elementname = sect2">
      <xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$elementname = section">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="count($section/ancestor::section &gt; 2)">
          <xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

you will get what you want.

I have a situation where I'm numbering the chapters and sections 1-2,
but now one of my "sect2"'s contains a huge amount of text that has
subsections, and I don't want them numbered (as the numbering gets a bit
ridiculous, 1.1.1.1.1.2).

Or is there a another tag that will allow my to have something like
sections but without numbering?
