Hi Nicolas and all,

@Nicolas: Thanks for org-num-mode.

> A few weeks ago, I posted on this ML a proof of concept about dynamic

>
>     This library provides dynamic numbering for Org headlines.  Use

>    
>     to toggle it.

>     keyword, or UNNUMBERED property.  You can also skip footnotes
>     sections.  See `org-num-max-level', `org-num-skip-tags',
>     `org-num-skip-commented', `org-num-skip-unnumbered', and
>     `org-skip-footnotes' for details.

For some days I turned on org-num-mode for every Org file automatically
with the setting

    (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-num-mode)

in my init file.  org-num-mode worked fine for me.

Just one idea came to my mind.  What about adding an option to restart
the numbering at 1 for the first heading in the case when narrowing is
in effect?


Ciao,  Marco
