Re: [xsl] Restrict numbering to a sub tree

[Brandon Ibach <brandon.ibach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All you really need is a pattern for what starts a sub tree.  In your
case, that's a "section" with no "section" ancestors.  Count those to
get the sub tree number and count *from* the last one of those for the
figure number:

    <xsl:number level="any" count="section[not(ancestor::section)]"/>
    <xsl:number level="any" format=".1"
from="section[not(ancestor::section)]"/>

This works for XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0.
