In addition to the two dropbox links above, see the following:

https://people.umass.edu/klement/tlp/tlp.html#bodytext
https://people.umass.edu/klement/tlp/tlp.pdf

The dropbox links (from Introduction to Hegel by GRG Mure) illustrate a
combination of Wittgenstein numbering with paragraph indentation. So it is
something of a hybrid between sectioning and paragraph numbering.

NOTE: A full implementation of Wittgenstein numbering is not required, and
would probably not be wise except in the context of producing a ConTeXt
edition of the Tractatus (something of zero interest to this writer).
Indeed, Wittgenstein's numbering system is inconsistent or obscure in
places... What we are looking for is something actually sane-)

1. If we take the sectioning approach outlined above, then the challenges
are

i)  indent a section after a title; and
ii) implement something not identical to but in the spirit of wittgenstein
numbers, e.g., where a subsubsection follows a section:

3 <par>     % section
3.01 <par>  % subsubsection

4 <par>     % section
4.1 <par>   % subsection
4.11 <par>  % subsubsection

But this may be difficult to automate except for simple cases.

Something along the lines of the following would be a sufficient (and
easier) first step for the current project, although we may want to
revisit the above for the future:

3 <par>     % section
3.0.1 <par>  % subsubsection

4 <par>     % section
4.1 <par>   % subsection
4.1.1 <par>  % subsubsection

How can we automate this?

2. There may be better approaches than the sectioning model outlined in
the previous message.

Thank you in advance for your help.
