Thanks for the extra information! I've experimented, and it begins to look like a case where I'll have to go for the "least harmful" option (le moindre mal ...)
with chapter prepend, we get clear sequential numbering for chapter/section titles Chapter 3. title 3.1 title 3.2 title but we get confusing 'related links': Chapter 3, Section 3.2. Primary protected application (PPA) the section title on the page is 3.2, so the reference to Chapter 3 is redundant; and "Chapter 3, section 3.2" suggests a non-existent 3.3.2 without chapter prepend, we get incomplete numbering for section titles Chapter 3. title 1. title 2. title and reviewers/readers can no longer say "see 3.2" but we get more comprehensible 'related links': Chapter 3, Section 2. Primary protected application (PPA) Given the importance of being able to share quick, unique references to numbered sections I think I'll have to stick with chapter prepend. By the way, how would I get a reference to topic title (no number) and page number, as in the DITA specs?
