Re: [docbook] something like LaTeX theorems

Nothing like that exists in the XSL stylesheets, but it could be done with a
customization. You could do formalpara with a role attribute to indicate
that it is a theorem.  The template matching such elements would use
something like this generate the continuous numbers:

<xsl:number count="formalpara[@role = 'theorem']" level="any" />
