subject:"No section numbers\?"

Hi,

I want to create a document where I have multiple chapters, but I want
\section numbers to continue. I.e. something that looks like this:

Chapter 1
1 A Section
2 A Section
3 A Section

Chapter 2
4 A Section
5 A Section
6 A Section
7 A Section

Chapter 4
8 A Section
9 A Section

Is this possible?

Certainly, but you may need to edit the LaTeX class file to get it to 
work. That said, you might just be able to use the remreset package, 
which you can find (as usual) at ctan.org. Try in the preamble:

   \makeatletter
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   \makeatother
To get LyX to behave as you want, you'll have to edit the layout files.

 I have the same question, but concerning the numbers 1, 2, 3, ... in

The labels are set using \labelenumi, \labelenumii, \labelenumiii, and
\labelenumiv, depending on the depth. These can be \renewcommand'ed as
you wish. See also the varioref package's \labelformat command.

I don't know whether enumerate can be modified the way arbitrary lists
can be, i.e., whether \labelsep and the like exist for this environment.
(See http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/latex/ltx-260.html.)* *But one could
try it and find out.

This does set the numerals 1, 2, 3, ... in the left margin, with the  
text lined up with the margin, but increasing the depth no longer  
indents the list, so when an exam problem has two parts (a) and (b) I  
get


1
(a)
(b)
2

rather than

1
 (a)
 (b)
2

Is there a way to get the normal indenting behavior with increased  
depth, using the preamble?

You can limit the changes to the first level by using the optional argument
of setenumerate:

\setenumerate[1]{leftmargin=0pt, labelsep=.6em}

Jürgen

P.S.: enumitem ships with an excellent documentation.

Re: Section numbers in left margin?


This can certainly be done with the koma-script classes. See also the
titlesec package. These will allow you to add arbitrary formatting
commands to set the section titles.

The labels are set using \labelenumi, \labelenumii, \labelenumiii, and
\labelenumiv, depending on the depth. These can be \renewcommand'ed as
you wish. See also the varioref package's \labelformat command.

I don't know whether enumerate can be modified the way arbitrary lists
can be, i.e., whether \labelsep and the like exist for this environment.

This does set the numerals 1, 2, 3, ... in the left margin, with the

You can limit the changes to the first level by using the optional argument
of setenumerate:

\setenumerate[1]{leftmargin=0pt, labelsep=.6em}

Jürgen

P.S.: enumitem ships with an excellent documentation.

Jürgen,

How do you *know* about all these packages? This is true for many on the 
list -- someone comes up with a need and you know exactly what package to use 
to accomplish it. Do you have all this memorized, or do you have a quick way 
of looking it up? Either way, how do you do it -- I want to do it too.

That would be really cool. 

Anyway, the following is just a guess, completely untested, but maybe it will 
start off your investigation...


\let\oldsection = \section
\let\endoldsection = \endsection
\renewenvironment{section}{
\leftskip -0.6in

arbitrary Section numbers

2005-12-16 Thread Nick Kuzmik

 Among other things I like to use Lyx to  create study guides for my math 
courses.  I use  Section/subsection/subsubsection to organize that info in a 
reasonable  fashion.  I also like to use a TOC as some of these study guides  
can get a tad large, and the TOC speads up the studying.
  
  What I've found awkward is that when a create a study guide for say  chapters 
2.5-4.4, and start using Section and such, Lyx automatically  starts at Section 
1
  
  I've tried using Section* and manually titeling my headings, but they they 
don't appear in the TOC.  
  
  What I'm asking is does anybody know of some ERT that will allow me to  
insert a section heading and dispite being the first section on the  page, have 
that be section 4, and still have it show up in the TOC?
  
  Am I trying to have my cake and eat it too?

You can use ERT to set the chapter, section, subsection etc. counters to
anything you want. The command is \setcounter{x}{n} where x is the name
of the counter (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, ...) and n
is a positive integer. You put the command in ERT prior to the heading
where you want it to take effect, and you can do so repeatedly if you
want the heading numbers to skip around. Two things to keep in mind:

1. The counter must be defined. (For instance, the article class does
not have a chapter counter.)

2. The heading environment will increment the corresponding counter, so
you need to make allowances for that. Suppose you want the first
heading to be a subsection numbered 2.5. You would put the following in
ERT prior to the subsection environment:

\setcounter{section}{2}\setcounter{subsection}{4}.

The subsection environment will increment the subsection counter to 5
(but will not change the section counter).

top level section numbers needed in format X.0

Hello,
I am using the article class for my document.
LyX/LaTeX outputs section numbering as:
1first top level section
1.1first subsection
1.1.1first subsubsection
2second 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):
1.0first top level section
1.1first subsection
1.1.1first subsubsection
2.0second top level section

I found in a TeX FAQ{1}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \csname the#1\endcsname.0\quad
}

which gives me
1.0first top level section
1.1.0first subsection
1.1.1.0first subsubsection
2.0second 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.
