Re: problem with numbering

You can't do this using level="multi" because element 2.1 is not a descendant of element 2. So you're going to have to build up the number yourself; which means you might as well use count() rather than <xsl:number/> - count() is a lot more flexible.

In XSLT 2.0 you can use <xsl:number> to format any sequence of numbers, so I think you can write:

<xsl:number
  select="(for $n in (ancestor::NUMMERIERUNG)[position()!=1]
           return count($n/preceding-sibling::NELEMENT)+1,
           count(preceding-sibling::NELEMENT)+1)"
  format="1.1"/>
