converted over...

[M. David Peterson] Will the user be updating the raw XHTML?  Or will
you be providing an application interface or a form that they will
submit with changes to just the paragraph text? Actually, looking at the
next paragraph this may be a moot point.

[M. David Peterson] Ok, so in essence what you are looking at is a
possible increase in the paragraphs and as such an increase in the
paragraph numbering affecting the index for the entire document?  So
really, all you are trying to do is check the input to see if the number
of paragraphs has increased, and if so, adjust both the paragraph
numbering as well as the index itself with the updated information?

[M. David Peterson] If this is what you mean, then yes, it does.  Let me
know and we can take it from there.  I will mention that if this is what
you are looking for then yes, XSLT can do this... but you're in for a
good day if not more of coding to make it work right.

Look forward to your reply and discovering whether or not weve hit this
one on the head as of yet :)
