    Has anyone successfully created a Table of Contents (TOC) using XSLT to transform HTML files to FO files (and, ultimately, to PDF, e.g. with XEP), with the HTML structure:
    <h1>Chapter 1</h1>
    <h2>Section 1</h2>
    <h3>Paragraph 1</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h3>Paragraph 2</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h3>Paragraph 3</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h2>Section 2</h2>
    <h3>Paragraph 1</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h3>Paragraph 2</h3>
    <h2>Section 3</h2>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h2>Section 4</h2>
    <p>...........</p>

    <h1>Chapter 2</h1>
    <h2>Section 1</h2>
    <h3>Paragraph 1</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h3>Paragraph 2</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h3>Paragraph 3</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h2>Section 2</h2>
    <h3>Paragraph 1</h3>
    <p>...........</p>
    <h3>Paragraph 2</h3>
    <h2>Section 3</h2>
    ...........
    <h2>Section 4</h2>
    ..........
    <h1>Chapter 3</h1>
    ...........

    This should generate a TOC structure in PDF via XSL-FO as follows:
    Chapter 1..................................1
    Section 1..................................1
    Paragraph 1
    Paragraph 2
    Paragraph 3
    Section 2..................................3
    Paragraph 1
    Paragraph 2
    Section 3..................................5
    Section 4..................................5
    Chapter 2..................................7
    Section 1..................................7
    Paragraph 1
    Paragraph 2
    Paragraph 3
    Section 2..................................9
    Paragraph 1
    Paragraph 2
    Section 3..................................11
    ..........
    Section 4..................................12
    .........
    Chapter 3..................................14
    We have already tried using <div class="first">...</div> to create a nested structure in HTML, and this succeeded in creating a TOC with 2 levels (i.e. h1, h2), but we need help with three levels (i.e. also with h3).Can anyone give us an example with some XSLT code?
