[O] Get headline number w/o link?

[D. C. Toedt]

During HTML export, I'm trying to automatically get the headline number of the then-current headline, WITHOUT a link, so I don't want to use [[$1]].  EXAMPLE:

=== ORG MODE TEXT: ===

* Definitions {{{HL-NUM}}}

** Affiliate Definition {{{HL-NUM}}}

[body text omitted]

** Arbitration {{{HL-NUM}}}

[body text omitted]

=== DESIRED EXPORTED TEXT: ===

1. Affiliate Definition [1]

1.1  Affiliate Definition [1.1]

[body text omitted]

1.2  Arbitration [1.2]

[body text omitted]

Suggestions?  I've gone rummaging through org.el, ox.el, and the HTML exporter.  I tried the following but it doesn't work:

#+MACRO: HL-NUM (eval (org-export-get-headline-number (org-get-heading nil nil)) nil)

I'm a cargo-cult programmer at best and am just scratching the surface of Lisp and emacs Lisp.

Thanks in advance.
