I see in memoir that \section is implemented like so:
\newcommand{\section}{%
\sechook%
\@startsection{section}{1}% level 1
{\secindent}% heading indent
{\beforesecskip}% skip before the heading
{\aftersecskip}% skip after the heading
{\normalfont\secheadstyle}} % font
\newcommand{\sechook}{}
\newcommand{\setsechook}[1]{\renewcommand{\sechook}{#1}}
\newlength{\secindent}
\newcommand{\setsecindent}[1]{\setlength{\secindent}{#1}}
\setsecindent{\z@}
\newskip\beforesecskip
\newcommand{\setbeforesecskip}[1]{\setlength{\beforesecskip}{#1}}
\setbeforesecskip{-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}
\newskip\aftersecskip
\newcommand{\setaftersecskip}[1]{\setlength{\aftersecskip}{#1}}
\setaftersecskip{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}
\newcommand{\secheadstyle}{}
\newcommand{\setsecheadstyle}[1]{\renewcommand{\secheadstyle}{#1}}
%%% \setsecheadstyle{\Large\bfseries\raggedright}
\setsecheadstyle{\Large\bfseries\memRTLraggedright}
I thought I'd try color'izing my section numbers, and first tried:
\renewcommand{\sechook}{\color{blue}}
This didn't work, since the scope of the blue was everything after and including the section. Next I tried:
\setsecheadstyle{\color{blue}\Large\bfseries\memRTLraggedright}
This is better, but color'izes the section number and the section title. I can't see in the \section implementation above where the counter is, so I think I'm looking in the wrong place.
Here's a MWE for my busted attempt:
\documentclass[openany]{memoir}
\usepackage{color}
\setsecheadstyle{\color{blue}\Large\bfseries\memRTLraggedright}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Foo}
\section{blah}
\section{stuff}
\subsection{more stuff}
\subsubsection{even more stuff}
\end{document}
This produces
I also see that I've lost subsection and subsubsection numbers (which I had with the book class). So two questions:
- How can I get back my sub and subsub section numbers?
- How would one color just the section numbers (and subsection numbers once I get them back)?
