Hi Platonides,
many thanks for the suggestions.
I can see how {{unitnumber}}.{{sectionnumber}}.{{subsectionnumber}}
would be easily implemented with Variables/Parserfunctions.
I am not sure how one would implement this just using {{thenumber}} -
somehow that template would need to be able to tell which section /
subsection it's in. How would you do that?
Also, how would you implement {{sectionnumberprefix|...}} as an extension?
Many thanks,
Bjoern
