Hello, I am using the article class for my document. LyX/LaTeX outputs section numbering as: 1 first top level section 1.1 first subsection 1.1.1 first subsubsection 2 second top level section
what I need is (I am required to use it, I do not like it though as it adds confusion by making top levels look like subsections): 1.0 first top level section 1.1 first subsection 1.1.1 first subsubsection 2.0 second top level section
I found in a TeX FAQ{1} [EMAIL PROTECTED] \csname the#1\endcsname.0\quad }
which gives me 1.0 first top level section 1.1.0 first subsection 1.1.1.0 first subsubsection 2.0 second top level section
I have tried [EMAIL PROTECTED]@section}[1]{%
\csname the#1\endcsname.0\quad
}
which fails because [EMAIL PROTECTED]@section is not defined???
%the following one does nothing to my output. [EMAIL PROTECTED]@section}[1]{% \csname the#1\endcsname.\quad }
I can't figure out (this bit of LaTeX is truly beyond me) why putting the \let... bit of code from the FAQ{1} in my document gives at least one error for every section+subsection+subsubsection I have.
Can someone here help me get the incantation correct please? Or if you know of a convincing bit of documentation indicating doing the toplevel sections as X.0 is bad (makes you look like an idiot) psychologically/professionally, please point it out so I can use it to request a change to the standard I have to follow.
Thanks.

Try adding this to the preamble:
\def\thesection{\arabic{section}.0}
\def\thesubsection{\arabic{section}.\arabic{subsection}}
\def\thesubsubsection{\arabic{section}.\arabic{subsection}.\arabic{subsubsection}}-- Paul
