Thanks for answering!

This looks like the format part is working...except I'm not getting any text
from within the steps, para, etc.???

You can do this with <xsl:number level="multiple" count="step"
format="1.1"/>


You could try this and change it to your needs:

 <xsl:template match="process_steps">
 <table border="0">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </table>
 </xsl:template>
 
 <xsl:template match="step">
  <xsl:variable name="space" select="(count(ancestor::step) * 13 + 1) * 7"/>
  <tr>
   <td width="140" valign="top">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@ckbox[.='yes']"/>
   </td>
   <td valign="top">
    <table width="100%" border="0">
     <tr>
      <td valign="top" width="{$space}">
       <table border="0">
        <tr>
         <td width="{$space}">&#160;</td>
         <td>
         <xsl:number level="multiple" count="step" format="1.1"/>
         <xsl:if test="not(ancestor::step)"><xsl:text>.</xsl:text></xsl:if>
         <xsl:text>&#9;</xsl:text>
        </td>
       </tr>
      </table>
      </td>
      <td>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::step)]"/>
      </td>
     </tr>
    </table>
   </td>
  </tr>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="step"/>
 </xsl:template>
 
 <xsl:template match="@ckbox">
  <input type="checkbox">
   <xsl:if test=".='yes'"><xsl:attribute
name="checked">checked</xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
  </input>
 </xsl:template>
 
 <xsl:template match="para">
  <p>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </p>
 </xsl:template>
 
 <xsl:template match="measure">
  <!-- you could also use a textarea instead -->
  <input type="text" value="{.}"/>
 </xsl:template>
