I would like the equation
counter to reset automatically whenever a \section
command is called, independent of section depth:
\section
\subsection
\subsubsection
\paragraph
\subparagraph
MWE Description:
The most brute force method would be to \setcounter{equation}{0}
whenever a section command is called. This method has been superceded by the chngcntr
package.
Currently, the chngcntr
package is used to reset the equation counter. This will reset the counter automatically if the next section is at the same depth; however, the \counterwithin*
command must be used each time the section depth is altered.
The current MWE code was originally developed here by user Christian Hupfer
.
MWE:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{geometry} % margin/page layout settings
\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage} % improved header commands. [supercedes `fancyhdr' package].
\usepackage{mathtools} % includes amsmath, supplements it.
\usepackage{chngcntr} % allows changing equation section depth mid-document
\usepackage{etoolbox}
% Margin Settings:
\KOMAoptions{fontsize = 12pt ,
parskip = half- ,
headheight = 1.000em ,
footheight = 2.700em ,
DIV = current }
\geometry{letterpaper ,
hmargin = 0.750in ,
tmargin = 0.750in ,
bmargin = 0.750in ,
headsep = 1.000em ,
footskip = 3.700em } % [ = Footheight + Footsep]
%Initialize headers and footers
\chead{\normalfont Header 1 \\ Header 2}
\cfoot{\normalfont Footer 1 \\ Footer 2}
