[Docutils-users] auto-section numbering

[Brett g P. <bgp...@ac...>]

Is there any simple method to use auto-numbering, but to delay its start 
point?

F'r example, I'm writing a spec, and I'd like to have some introductory 
material that is NOT given a section number, and then have the body of 
the spec auto-numbered, something like:


Intro
======

handwaving and other filler text here...


Heading 1
---------

blah blah blah

detail 1
.........

detail 2
.........

(&c)

would get rendered out as:

Intro

1     Heading 1
1.1   detail 1
1.2   detail 2
