You're most welcome :)

Ah, yes, silly me.

Well, I'm sufficiently in love with XSLT to want to recommend upgrading 
those skills, but I must say this may not be a totally trivial situation 
:( The following stylesheet will take a document of the form:

<section>
   <point>foo</point>
   <point>
     blabl<b>bar</b> lorem
     <point>foo</point>
     <point>bar</point>
   </point>
</section>

And turn it into something like:

<section>
   <point level='1'>foo</point>
   <point level='1'>
     blabl<b>bar</b> lorem
   </point>
   <point level='2'>foo</point>
   <point level='2'>bar</point>
</section>

It ought to work to arbitrary depth levels, so long as points are 
embedded directly inside other points and not inside another element 
contained in a point (it should be possible to address that but I don't 
have the time to look into it right now). You'll probably have to adapt 
it to match the PodML vocabulary. Another option would be to use it 
directly on AxPoint to fix it up (ie have a stylesheet pipeline). In 
that case you will still probably have to add a few other things to copy 
the rest of the document properly, but it shouldn't be too hard.


<xsl:stylesheet
		 xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
		 version='1.0'>

   <xsl:template match='section'>
     <section>
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </section>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match='point'>
     <point level='{count(ancestor::point) + 1}'>
       <xsl:apply-templates mode='noPoint'/>
     </point>

     <xsl:apply-templates select='point'/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match='node()' mode='noPoint'>
     <xsl:copy-of select='.'>
       <xsl:apply-templates mode='noPoint'/>
     </xsl:copy-of>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match='point' mode='noPoint'/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
