sequence number appearing on visualizations is always "1" about docs HOT 6 CLOSED

@fginter, @mcdm: how should example sequence numbers be selected?

The "obvious" answer -- first on page is "1", second is "2", etc. -- would mean that the example numbers are different on the per-dependency pages (like http://universaldependencies.github.io/docs/en/advcl.html) and the merged pages (http://universaldependencies.github.io/docs/en-all.html). Would this be OK?

from docs.

Browsing through the documentation, there's very few if any cross-references to the examples. I don't think the numbering is a hugely important issue. If there were no numbers, that wouldn't be such a big deal either methinks.

I don't think it's a problem that the examples would get renumbered on the all-deps page (and also on the this-dep-in-all-languages page) as long as any cross-references pointing to them will also get renumbered. I don't know how difficult that is, though.

from docs.

Maintaining consistent numbers in references with numbering that varies by page would be fairly straightforward with e.g. a bash script, but fairly tricky with pure jekyll (actually, I've yet to figure out how). I'm guessing this isn't important enough to abandon the goal of having jekyll-only build process.

If removing the numbers is acceptable for now, I propose to implement this for LREC and postponing the rest of this issue.

I think it's okay to turn the numbers off for LREC.

@fginter : OK, thanks. @mcdm : any comments on this? (if not, I'll just remove the numbering for now.)

The numbers (and the separating line) are gone for now (more precisely display: none in css).
