Hi (do I say Hussein or Shafie?)!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I wasn't thrilled with the "easy" solution so I went to
the next step and it wasn't that advanced after all. The perfect solution is
as follows:
In collapsible.imp, change:
part > title:first-child:before {
content: collapser() " Part " counter(n-, upper-roman) ": ";
}
chapter > title:first-child:before {
content: collapser() " Chapter " label(xpath, "1 +
count(../preceding::chapter)") ": " ;
}
sect1 > title:first-child:before {
content: collapser() " " label(xpath, "1 + count(../preceding::chapter)")
"." counter(n-) " ";
}
sect2 > title:first-child:before {
content: collapser() " " label(xpath, "1 + count(../preceding::chapter)")
"." counter(nn-) " ";
}
... (for sect3, sect4, sect5 and the section/section... ones as well)
As you noted, using the label in place of the counter expression replaces the
generated chapter/section numbers, and the XPATH expression lets you just count
the preceding chapters regardless of what "parts" they are in. So my text
comes out:
PART I - First Part
Chapter 1. First Chapter
1.1 First section
1.1.1 A subsection
1.1.2 Another subsection
1.2 Second section
Chapter 2. Second Chapter
2.1 First section
2.2 Second section
PART II - Second Part
Chapter 3. Third Chapter (first in Part 2)
3.1 First section
3.2 Second section
Chapter 4. Fourth Chapter
4.1 First section
4.2 Second section
What a fantastically versatile tool!
I even figured out how to use the "drop-in" attribute editing fields in the
WYSINR view so that I could put a text field for docbook "ids" above each
Chapter and Section. We are using IDs extensively to manage our chapters and
sections and cross-referencing and this makes it easy to put IDs into the tags
without having to switch back and forth to the tag view and its attribute panel.
Your help has been invaluable. I am pretty certain I am going to recommend to
my boss that we use your product extensively, and we should be buying at least
some licenses for our writers.
Thanks again so much!!!
Jon
