Thanks Rob.
From Bob
"As far as the DocBook XSL stylesheets go, the @label attribute is
treated as a manual override for the generated *number* for a section,
table, figure, etc. It is just the number part, as in "1-1". "


My problem is that this override isn't documented and I couldn't find
the code in the stylesheets.

I have a requirement to put (lower case) Chapter X
where x is the generated chapter number.
#fail on all accounts ;-)


Rethink called for.
