We do not pretend to be WYSIWYG. We call this view: the styled view, as opposed to the tree view. We do not include the number of the chapter in the numbering of sections because we encourage authors to create modular documents. In the case of a modular document, the author works most of the time on a separate chapter and in this case, including the number of the chapter in the numbering of sections is not useful. > > Is there a possibility to change adjust the WYSIWYG view of the XXE > Professional version, so the numbering matches our PDF output?
