Hi Betty, The problem with your initial CSS is probably related to not resetting the counter. Basically the counter for section N should be reset on any section N-1. I will be in US in a couple of weeks for the DITA North America conference in Providence, RI. It will be great to meet you there if you attend the DITA conference again.

Thanks George!
That did the trick. I wonder if it wasn't working because I didn't have a standalone 'topic' declaration. I am not sure why I couldn't get it to work. I have to work with CSS once every 5 years. Much prefer XSLT or XSL-FO!
As usual you are the greatest!!! Hope everything is going well with you. Most of my time these days is working with Obamacare and NIEM (not a fan of NIEM).
Hope to see you soon!
Thanks again!
Betty
Dear Betty,
Please find a working sample attached. I think the initial XML file in your sample also had a few issues, having additional titles without a topic element. In any case, please see the attached sample and let me know if this helps.

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
