Hi, asciiDoctors. . . Here's my ailment: I'm trying to create a troubleshooting outline something like this:

= Troubleshooting Widgets
:sectnum:
:sectnumlevels: 5
:!section-refsig:

// 1.0
[[iswidget]]
== Is there a widget?
=== Great!  Go to <<iswunning>>.

// 2.0
[[iswunning]]
== Is this the widget wunning?
=== No, too bad, go to <<wonky>>
=== Yes, great!

// 3.0
[[wonky]]
== Is widget wonky?
=== Yes, too bad!
=== No, great!

Hopefully you get the idea.  I would like to use short reference signifiers so that this appears like this:

1.0 Is there a widget?
1.1 Great!  Go to 2.0.

2.0 Is this the widget wunning?
2.1 No, too bad, go to 3.0.
2.2 Yes, great!

3.0 Is widget wonky?
3.1 Yes, too bad!
3.2 No, great!

But, as far as I can understand it, to reference the automation section number I'd have to link to <<is_widget_wonky?>>.  This would be hard because that level of document could be a pretty complicated phrase/question.

I'd rather not put a custom anchor and reftext because then I would have to constantly update the section numbers as the document changed.

Can anyone suggest any ideas?

Thanks!

Andy
