Numberers are not displayed as a prefix of their children's numbers (in HTML) about scribble HOT 3 CLOSED

This seems to be a documentation issue, not an actual bug.

The documentation for part-number-item? says:

Return #t if v is #f, an exact non-negative integer, a string, or a list containing two strings. See part for information on how different representations are used for numbering.

It seems that when the numberer returns a list of two strings, the first is treated as the section's number, and the second as a separator, and these are used as prefixes on children's strings.

The documentation for part does not contain anything on that topic, however, and neither does the documentation for make-numberer. Also, it seems best to document this inside part-number-item? or make-numberer, and refer to those from part, rather than the opposite (rationale: the documentation for part is already pretty large, and having to find the relevant information within will make that information less easy to access/read).

Thanks – I followed the same dead-ends in the docs while trying to sort this out. It turns out that the information is in the docs for collected-info. I'll work on the docs and cross-referencing.
