separating chapter labels and titles

    Hi all,

    I am working with ns-1.77.1 stylesheets to transform to single and chunked xhtml. What I'd like to do is produce chapter autolabels (perhaps other components later) in a different tag from the chapter titles. Something like this:

    Chapter 7


    This Really Good Chapter Title



    This would allow me a ton more flexibility using CSS to style my titlepages.

    I've been tracing the long trip a chapter title makes through the stylesheets until my eyes are crossed and I can't figure out where I could separate these 2 elements (especially since they are grouped together in the gentext template).

    Is this possible without a dramatic overhaul of the way titles are handled?

    Thanks,

    jz
