Numbering document components such as sections, subsections, figures and equations gives each component a unique identifier and helps the user locate the component when it is cross-referenced. This report discusses ways in which such numbering can be described and proposes a simple paradigm for declarative specification of how components should be numbered. The class of algorithms for incremental update of component numbers is studied and the "best" such algorithm is developed in detail.
