S1000D - UK MoD Army Equipment Support Publications (AESP)
Stylesheet Development Progress
Our main focus has been on understanding the layout rules for the different Heading levels (Heading 1 through to 5) and the paragraph numbering at these different heading levels. We have also spending about 50% of our time creating test data to ensure the auto-numbering works as expected.

Sample PDF files
Instead of displaying individual pages from our S1000D to AESP stylesheets, we have decided to make our TEST/DEMO output available for the community to review:

AESP 2320-D-128-201

These AESP TEST/DEMO PDF publications were released by the UK MoD under a Freedom of Information request (https://lrxd.org/en/) and are being used by Docuneering during development to replicate a "real" AESP structure and layout.

Some more sample PDF files
I have been jumping between different tasks so I've not been able to focus on the S1000D to AESP stylesheets for a while but we're still making progress:
