Dear Brendan,
A couple of remarks:
Oxygen XML Editor's visual editing mode is based on CSS, you can right
click in the Author visual editing mode and choose to use the "Inspect
Styles" action to see what CSS styles are used to display the current
element.
Although we designed our editing CSS to be similar to how the published
output looks the publishing part is totally uncoupled from the CSS used
for editing so it may happen that you see things in a certain way when
editing but differently when publishing. For example we did not add
special selectors in our editing CSS to look at the @label value for
each section. This can be done of course but it seems that also the
publishing kind of ignores these @label attributes on various elements.
Coming back to your problem, in my opinion it's more flexible to use the
DocBook <section> element instead of using <sectX> element. This is more
flexible because it allows you to copy sections from one place to
another without needing to rename the element name for example.
For the DocBook PDF output there is an XSLT stylesheet created by the
DocBook XSLT project:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/sections.xsl
which matches various sections like:
<xsl:template match="d:section">
or:
<xsl:template match="d:sect1">
which match various DocBook section elements and produce the
corresponding XSL-FO content which later is converted to PDF using the
Apache FOP processor bundled with Oxygen.
Right now I do not see any special XSLT code in these templates which
looks for the @label attribute, no matter what parameters would be set.
Regards,
Radu

Hi,
I’m entirely new to DocBook and am trying to use it in Oxygen’s XML
Editor (v. 21). I’m trying to convert a client’s native XML to DocBook
for use.
I have a document with <sect1> as a root element and subsections and the
@label attribute does not work:
1. In Oxygen Author mode section labels are prefixed with the label of
the component that contains them (I want to turn that off), plus the
actual @label value is ignored (autonumbering takes over), e.g.,
<sect1 label=”Chapter 6”> appears in Oxygen as “Section 1:”
2. In PDF the @label value is simply ignored.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Brendan Martin
