Hello, I have been using LyX for while, I've prepared my thesis and I have a problem with the index and the PDF file. I'll try to be as clear as possible here.
-Things to know: I'm using Document type "article" *Clarifying this with my real example * In mi case with the two first chapters: Chapter 1 (corresponding to "section") (Number on the left side) 1.1(corresponding to "subsection") 1.2(corresponding to "subsection") 1.3(corresponding to "subsection") 1.4(corresponding to "subsection") Chapter 2 (corresponding to "section") (Number on the left side) 2.1(corresponding to "subsection") 2.2(corresponding to "subsection") 2.3(corresponding to "subsection") When I insert "Section" for my chapters they show a number to the left side when I render the file to PDF. The subsections show the number as well beginning with number 1, then 1.1, 1.2 and on goes on... Ok, now I know that's the right thing it should be happening. But, I don't want the number on the left side of my chapter name, just for the subsections. I tried changing this to "Section*" but after that the new chapter subsections appeared numbered as continuing the subsections from the last chapter. I mean: Chapter 1 (corresponding to "section") 1.1(corresponding to "subsection") 1.2(corresponding to "subsection") 1.3(corresponding to "subsection") 1.4(corresponding to "subsection") Chapter 2 (corresponding to "section*") (without number on the left side) 1.5(corresponding to "subsection") 1.6(corresponding to "subsection") 1.7(corresponding to "subsection") *I don't want that either. I need this:* Chapter 1 (corresponding to "section*") (without number on the left side) 1.1(corresponding to "subsection") 1.2(corresponding to "subsection") 1.3(corresponding to "subsection") 1.4(corresponding to "subsection") Chaprter 2 (corresponding to "section*") (without number on the left side) 2.1(corresponding to "subsection") 2.2(corresponding to "subsection") 2.3(corresponding to "subsection") I tried Inserting the code below after "Section" and before "Subsection" \addtocounter{section}{1} *That doesn't fix the issue either because the result in the PDF is * Chapter 1 (corresponding to "section*") (without number on the left side) 1.1(corresponding to "subsection") 1.2(corresponding to "subsection") 1.3(corresponding to "subsection") 1.4(corresponding to "subsection") Chapter 2 (corresponding to "section*") (without number on the left side) 2.5(corresponding to "subsection") 2.6(corresponding to "subsection") 2.7(corresponding to "subsection") As you can see the subsection from chapter 2 continue counting after 4 and not beginning from 1. Besides that, in order for this to work I need obviously to change chapter 1 ans 2 to "section*" but inside the LyX interface appear the subsections established as "subsection" with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 ..... and on! So I'm having 2 issues now with that crappy solutions that I tried. Here you have some print screens of my thesis to clarify: About the PDF problem counting from 4 in chapter 2: http://howtoplaypianohq.com/sshot-1.jpg About confusing LyX interface if I change the section to section*: http://howtoplaypianohq.com/sshot-2.jpg *So wrapping up, I need this:* Chapter 1 (corresponding to "section*") (without number on the left side) 1.1(corresponding to "subsection") 1.2(corresponding to "subsection") 1.3(corresponding to "subsection") 1.4(corresponding to "subsection") Chapter 2 (corresponding to "section*") (without number on the left side) 2.1(corresponding to "subsection") 2.2(corresponding to "subsection") 2.3(corresponding to "subsection") Please help me with this. Maybe it sound like a dummy thing but it's critical for me...
