Hello to all:

I am attempting to supplement the Duxbury styles in order to add styles from the XML docbooks DTD. The more I dig into this, the more daunting it seems. However, that's part of the fun too, right? I mention this only to provide some context for the following question, and for several future questions. If, at some point, the finer details of XML conversion are more specific than this list can tolerate, I hope the list moderator will let me know this.

Also, I'm not the most experienced Duxbury user. So, I won't be the slightest bit offended to be referred to pieces of documentation for further study or answers.

Ok, numbering. Is there a code, or some other way, to set a number and then later increment it when a style is encountered during translation?

The style I'm thinking about for this question is <chapter>. When rendered in the final print-out, of course <chapter> has a number next to it that would be nice to emulate in the braille translation.

A related consideration may be the relationship between an XML file and the style sheet(s) it uses. I'm unclear what the philosophy may be within braille translation about trying to emulate the CSS through Duxbury itself. Any comments about this would probably be quite helpful.

Thanks very much.

Chris
