Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Reference element and chapter numbering

Norm, 

Thanks very much. I had to modify your suggestion slightly (see below).
It seems to work in all my tests.

(define (en-label-number-format-list)
  (list
   (list (normalize "set")		"1")
   (list (normalize "book")		"1")
   (list (normalize "prefix")		"1")
   (list (normalize "part")		"I")
   (list (normalize "chapter")		"1")
   (list (normalize "appendix")		"A")
   ;(list (normalize "reference")	"1") ; references-as-chapters
   (list (normalize "reference")	"A") ; references-as-appendices
   (list (normalize "example")		"1")
   (list (normalize "figure")		"1")
   (list (normalize "table")		"1")
   (list (normalize "procedure")	"1")
   (list (normalize "step")		"1")
   (list (normalize "refsect1")		"1")
   (list (normalize "refsect2")		"1")
   (list (normalize "refsect3")		"1")
   (list (normalize "sect1")		"1")
   (list (normalize "sect2")		"1")
   (list (normalize "sect3")		"1")
   (list (normalize "sect4")		"1")
   (list (normalize "sect5")		"1")
   (list (normalize "section")		"1")
   ))

  ;;; for references-as-appendices
  (define (reference-number-sibling-list cmp) (list (normalize "appendix")))
  (define (appendix-number-sibling-list cmp)  (list (normalize "reference")))

  ;;; for references-as-chapters
  ;;(define (reference-number-sibling-list cmp) (list (normalize "chapter")))
  ;;(define (chapter-number-sibling-list cmp)  (list (normalize "reference")))
