Re: section "label" attribute not producing label

What are you using for your transformation/stylesheet?
Docbook parameters allow you to turn the labels on/off. Via Oxygenxml it is
quite easy once you know where to look under the parameters.
You might want to switch to book as your root and use "xi:include" if you
want to work with separate files.
With tomes this is a real advantage to work with portions of the text. I am
presently working on a graphic heavy text that is now separated into 32
portions.
See:
