RE: Problem with Xpath

Thank you the .//info worked. But I guess I have a new
problem now, since there is some styling to format
these levels as 1, 2, 3 etc, now if the second<l1> tag
matched then the numbering starts with 2. instead of
1. 

Is there any way to start this numebring at 1 instead
of 2 so that even in between if there are levels that
have to be missed the numbering stays as 1,2 , 3 and
not 2, 5, ,6 etc.

Please let me know.
