Re: [oXygen-user] Recursive Root Element In CSS

      Hi Betty,

Thank you for contacting us!
We handle these exactly as you want for DocBook section elements. You 
can find the CSS code here:
[oxygen]/frameworks/docbook/css/docbook.css

Here it is a sample DocBook showing this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
     xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.0">
     <info>
         <title>Article Template Title</title>
     </info>
     <section>
         <title>Test</title>
         <section>
             <title>Test</title>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
         </section>
         <section>
             <title>Test</title>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
         </section>
     </section>
</article>

Does that help?

Best Regards,
George

Hi all:
I am creating a CSS stylesheet to autonumber topics.
The structure of the document is recursive topics where topic is the root
element:
<topic>
     <title>
     <topic>
        <title>
        <topic>
            <title>
The goal is to have
1. Title
    1.1 Title
       1.1.1 Title
Because the <topic> is the root element and recursive the numbering is
is being displayed as:
1. Title
    1.1 Title
       1.1.1 Title
    1.2 Title
       1.2.2
The third level and below numbers sequentially and doesn't reset.  I tried
doing a reset-counter but then the numbers are always 1. I thought maybe I
could use :root selector:
:root topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: section;
      content: counter(section) ". ";
    }
The CSS is valid but Oxygen ignores the counter and the number isn't present.
I also looked for an Oxygen extension that might help derive the hierarchy
from the top-level but wasn't able to find anything. I think it would work
if there was a way to say 'this topic is the root element'.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Here is the CSS for the counters:
topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: section;
      content: counter(section) ". ";
    }
topic > topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: subsection;
      content: counter(section) "." counter(subsection) ". ";
    }
topic > topic > topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: subsection1;
      content: counter(section) "." counter(subsection) "."
counter(subsection1) ". ";
    }
TIA!
Betty
