Re: problem with section numbering

 You can also use the chngcntr package to do the same sort of thing:
  \usepackage{chngcntr}
  \counterwithin*{section}{part}
 But for this simple purpose you probably don't need to do that.

koma script book (scrbook) class section numbering in lyx 2.0.x and 2.1.0rc1

[Csikos Bela]

Hello:

This is only a report of a misbehavior so that lyx user (and possibly 
developers) would be aware of it.

Lyx (both 2.0.x and 2.1.0rc1) numbers koma book class sections consecutively 
disregarding \frontmatter and \mainmatter.

This results in a difference between section numbers in lyx interface and the 
pdf output.
For example if the document has 2 sections in the front matter and 5 in the 
main matter,
in lyx these are numbered from 1 to 7. In the pdf output the sections in the 
front matter are not numbered and the the sections in the main matter are 
numbered from 1 to 5.
This makes identifying text locations and editing/correcting the text difficult 
occasionally.

How do you insert \frontmatter and \mainmatter? AFAIK the LyX KOMA layouts

Richard,

  Furthermore, I discovered in the current book I'm writing that I do not
need to explicitly enter \frontmatter. I put everything I want there, and
following the ToC and other lists I add \mainmatter and set the page
numbering. It's working for me.

There are several ways to achieve this:

e.g. at CTAN.

 This code may not get you all the way there, though. It only changes
 the style of the counters, not the overall styling of the sectioning
 commands. For instance, you will still get  Part A not just A.

 A better solution may be to use the titlesec package (or the memoir
 class which includes the titlesec package). Take a look at section 9.2
 of the manual (available on Ctan and probably on your own
 installation: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/).
 Titlesec will allow you complete control over the sectioning commands

Another alternative is to use the KOMA-script classes that provide many
well documented configuration options including section heading styling.
See scrguide.pdf or the English version scrguien.pdf on CTAN or your
local installation).

 In either case, you'll get your desidered numbering scheme in the pdf
 only.  Lyx will still show you arabic figures on screen. You would
 have to write a module to fix what you see on screen as well (although
 a bug made it impossible a few versions back. Things may have
 changed).

One way to do it is by redefining the corresponding commands:
\thepart, \thechapter, etc. If I understood your scheme correctly, you
want:

part: Alpha
chapter: Roman
section: arabic
subsection: alpha + )
subsubsection: : subsection + alpha
paragraph: ( + roman + )

You may try this code in the preamble of your doc:

\renewcommand{\thepart}{\Alph{part}}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\alph{subsection})}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\alph{subsection}\alph{subsubsection})}
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{(\roman{paragraph})}

This code may not get you all the way there, though. It only changes
the style of the counters, not the overall styling of the sectioning
commands. For instance, you will still get  Part A not just A.

only.  Lyx will still show you arabic figures on screen. You would
have to write a module to fix what you see on screen as well (although
a bug made it impossible a few versions back. Things may have
changed).

Cheers,

alpha-numeric Section Numbering

[Boris Seincher]

Hello!

I want to use LyX wor a law paper in german. When I use Part, Chapter, 
Section and so on I get a sctructure like this:
I., 1, 1.1 ... However I want something like this: A, I, 1, a), aa), 
(i), (ii).


Is it somehow possible?

Thank you in advance

One way to do it is by redefining the corresponding commands:
\thepart, \thechapter, etc. If I understood your scheme correctly, you
want:

part: Alpha
chapter: Roman
section: arabic
subsection: alpha + )
subsubsection: : subsection + alpha
paragraph: ( + roman + )

You may try this code in the preamble of your doc:

\renewcommand{\thepart}{\Alph{part}}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\alph{subsection})}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\alph{subsection}\alph{subsubsection})}
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{(\roman{paragraph})}

This code may not get you all the way there, though. It only changes
the style of the counters, not the overall styling of the sectioning
commands. For instance, you will still get  Part A not just A.

A better solution may be to use the titlesec package or (the memoir
class which includes the titlesec package). Take a look at section 9.2
of the manual (available on Ctan and probably on your own
installation: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/).
Titlesec will allow you complete control over the sectioning commands

In either case, you'll get your desidered numbering scheme in the pdf
only.  Lyx will still show you arabic figures on screen. You would

problem with section numbering

[Lisa Deutscher]

hello everyone

I am writing a thesis with lyx that consists of different parts which 
are divided into several sections etc.


I would like the first section of each part to start with 1.
without any interference of mine, the numbering would be continuous as 
in: part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, sect 4 etc.
I could help this by adding \setcounter{section}{1} after the first 
section of every part.
Now it figures correctly in the Table of contents, also the subsections 
and following sections are numbered correctly.
BUT the numbering of the first sections themselves within the text is 
all wrong. example:
part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, subsection 1.1, 
section 2, section 3 etc


any ideas how to mend this?

documentclass: article KOMA,  lyx version 1.6.8, OS win 7

thanks a lot!

You would need to add it BEFORE the first section of the part (and you

there is a better way to do this. In your preamble, put:
\@addtoreset{section}{part}
This tells LaTeX to reset the section counter every time the part 
counter is changed.


You can also use the chngcntr package to do the same sort of thing:
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin*{section}{part}
But for this simple purpose you probably don't need to do that.

I don't know about this one. Presumably, your document class has

I'm not very familiar with LaTeX, so I'm probably doing it all wrong,

\...@titlepage
  \newenvironment{abstract}{%
  \titlepage
  \null\vfil

  {\bfseries \abstractname\vspace{-.5em}\vspace...@}}%
\end{center}%
\quotation
  \fi}
  {...@twocolumn\else\endquotation\fi}
\fi

After some trial and error, I added the first part to the preamble,  
with \titlepage removed and newcommand replaced by renewcommand  
as suggested. This seems to work. Hence, in the preamble:


  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
  \null\vfil
  \...@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
  \begin{center}%
\bfseries \abstractname
\...@endparpenalty\@M
  \end{center}}%
 {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}


2. I have two major Parts in my document. The first Part consists  
of sections (no chapters), with the second Part including  
chapters. I don't want chapters in the first section, for both  
inline effect (e.g. don't want new pages), and Table of Contents  
listing (i.e. don't want bold and no dots. What I _would_ like, if  
possible, if for the sections to be numbered similarly to  
chapters. i.e. 1 instead of 0.1, with the rest of its formatting  
remaining as a section. Is it possible to change the numbering of  
the sections (in the first Part only) without changing anything  
else?



Yes:
\let\oldthesection=\thesection
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
in ERT at the beginning of Part I. Then at Part II:
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\oldthesection}
again in ERT. I think.


This works perfectly!

3. In the second Part, I'd like the chapters in the TOC to be  
listed as Chapter 1. Foobar rather than 1 Foobar. i.e. I'd  
like it to be consistent with the inline chapter headings.


Look into the titlesec and titletoc packages. I think one of those  
will do what you want.


Again, I've probably done this totally wrong, but this works. Again,  
for future reference…


Firstly, in the preamble:

\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\newenvironment{notintoc}
{\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}\ignorespaces}}
{\setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}%
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}\ignorespaces}}

Then, just before the chapter begins, insert clear page, then ERT  
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Chapter 1: Yourtitle}, which adds the  
nicely formatted title to the TOC.
Then ERT \begin{notintoc}, and the write the chapter heading itself  
(e.g. Yourtitle). After the heading, ERT \end{notintoc}. This part  
suppresses sending of the title to the TOC.


From preliminary testing, this seems to work well, with my headers,  
etc. looking as expected. I don't really know exactly what the  
preamble settings do, but they seem okay. I find the titlesec  
documentation a little opaque.

After some trial and error, I added the first part to the preamble,  
with \titlepage removed and newcommand replaced by renewcommand  
as suggested. This seems to work. Hence, in the preamble:


  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
  \null\vfil
  \...@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
  \begin{center}%
\bfseries \abstractname
\...@endparpenalty\@M
  \end{center}}%
 {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}


2. I have two major Parts in my document. The first Part consists  
of sections (no chapters), with the second Part including  
chapters. I don't want chapters in the first section, for both  
inline effect (e.g. don't want new pages), and Table of Contents  
listing (i.e. don't want bold and no dots. What I _would_ like, if  
possible, if for the sections to be numbered similarly to  
chapters. i.e. 1 instead of 0.1, with the rest of its formatting  
remaining as a section. Is it possible to change the numbering of  
the sections (in the first Part only) without changing anything  
else?



Yes:
\let\oldthesection=\thesection
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
in ERT at the beginning of Part I. Then at Part II:
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\oldthesection}
again in ERT. I think.


This works perfectly!

3. In the second Part, I'd like the chapters in the TOC to be  
listed as Chapter 1. Foobar rather than 1 Foobar. i.e. I'd  
like it to be consistent with the inline chapter headings.


Look into the titlesec and titletoc packages. I think one of those  
will do what you want.


Again, I've probably done this totally wrong, but this works. Again,  
for future reference…


Firstly, in the preamble:

\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\newenvironment{notintoc}
{\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}\ignorespaces}}
{\setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}%
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}\ignorespaces}}

Then, just before the chapter begins, insert clear page, then ERT  
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Chapter 1: Yourtitle}, which adds the  
nicely formatted title to the TOC.
Then ERT \begin{notintoc}, and the write the chapter heading itself  
(e.g. Yourtitle). After the heading, ERT \end{notintoc}. This part  
suppresses sending of the title to the TOC.


From preliminary testing, this seems to work well, with my headers,  
etc. looking as expected. I don't really know exactly what the  
preamble settings do, but they seem okay. I find the titlesec  
documentation a little opaque.

I don't know about this one. Presumably, your document class has  
\abstract reset the page numbers. So the solution is likely to look  
in report.cls, find the abstract command, copy it to your preamble,  
change "newcommand" to "renewcommand", and delete whichever bit  
resets the page numbers.

Section numbering

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all, I'm writing a memoir(book) document in Lyx. I used the
numbering  TOC setup to use numbering until subsubsection. When I
generated the PDF it didn't apper. I then included in the preamble:

\setsecnumdepth{all}
\maxsecnumdepth{all}

From that moment numbering and inclusion in the TOC was perfect. Is
this a bug? If so, is it a known one?

Re: Reset Section Numbering by Part

[Andrew Hills]

but in my head if you need a toc and to start sections anew for each
part, you do not write an article ;).


You caught me; I'm not writing an article. The article class is just the 
one I'm most familiar manipulating. I'm also not releasing the source 
for my document, so I'm more comfortable with unorthodox hacks.


It turns out there's a simple preamble command that accomplishes what I 
want: \...@addtoreset{section}{part}. It turned up after hours of poring 
over documentation when Google searches failed.

for my document, so I'm more comfortable with unorthodox hacks.


It turns out there's a simple preamble command that accomplishes what I 
want: \...@addtoreset{section}{part}. It turned up after hours of poring 
over documentation when Google searches failed.

Re: Reset Section Numbering by Part

[Andrew Hills]

but in my head if you need a toc and to start sections anew for each
part, you do not write an article ;).

Reset Section Numbering by Part

[Andrew Hills]

Hi all,

I want the section numbering to restart for each part in the article 
class. The only way I have devised is a simple hack in the LaTeX preamble:


\let\oldpart\part
\renewcommand{part}[1]{\oldpart{#1}
\setcounter{section}{0}}

This works great, except for the Table of Contents. When I generate a 
PDF, every Section N links to the first Section N; e.g., clicking on 
Part III, Section 2 takes me down to Part I, Section 2.


I understand that I can define a new counter with 
\newcounter{newsection}[part] to reset when I want it to. Is there a way 
to force sections to display this new counter while still being linked 
with the old one? If not, is there another way to solve my problem?

override section numbering in aastex class

[Tomás Revilla]

In the article (AASTeX) document class, is there an option to globablly
override section numbering? If not, can it be done in the preamble, how?
Unfortunately, the *section, *subsection options do not appear in the drop
down list. I do not want to use ERT because I am collaborating with someone
who started using LyX, so it is OK to put some ERT formating in a few
places, but that would be nasty through all the document.

LaTeX has come a long way and today the basic usage of LaTeX starts with the
choice of the document class. At least two packages are very powerful and
very configurable: Memoir and KOMA-Script. Within these classes you can
change practically everything you want. For other classes (the regular ones)
you need a lot of extra packages to change their look and behaviour. And
then there are very special classes such as AMS, IEEE and so on which are
often written for very special purposes such as specific journals. Unless
you are writing for such a journal providing its own document class or
unless you want your writings to look exactly like in one of these journals,
I for my part would not recommend using them. Use Memoir or KOMA instead and
check their manuals to make changes. Quite a few typical changes can be done
very easily by mouse-click in LyX’ document settings dialogue. If you need
help with theses classes simply ask on the list.

about the style of the section numbering

[Haiyang Chao]

Hi, everyone.

I am a freshman to lyx but I have some latex experiences. I got a question
on how to change the style of the section numbering.

In my current file, I got section number like I, II, III, IV in dvi files.
Can u guys tell me how I can change this style back to 1, 2,3,4 ?

Thanks

Hi,

You have to tell us more about your document. What document class did
you pick?
