Hi Robert,
The DocBook XSL stylesheets don't have an option to turn on
numbering for articles within a part. Have you considered using chapters
instead? Those are autonumbered.
It would be possible to number articles with a customization
that copies all the templates that handle chapter titles and change the element
name to article. But it would be quite a few because of details like tables of
contents and cross references. This would make a good feature request for
a future release.
If you did change the elements to chapters and you don't want
to see "Chapter" in the output, you can change the generated text for chapters
to refer to articles or remove the word entirely. That would be easier
than getting numbering of articles to work.

Subject: [docbook-apps] numbering parts and
articles
Hi,
I need some help with part/article numbering. My book
has the following structure:
<book>
<part>
<article/>
<article/>
</part>
<part>
<article/>
<article/>
</part>
</book>
I'm able
control the numbering of part elements, but I cannot do it for article elements.
I would like each article within a part element to contain the number of the
current part and the number of the current article, separated by '.',
i.e.
<book>
<part> 1.
title
<article/>
1.1 title
<article/> 1.2 title
</part>
<part>
2. title
<article/> 2.1
title
<article/>
2.2 title
</part>
</book>
Thanks for your help.
Robert
