How can I switch per-chapter numbering inside float elements to continuous numbering and avoiding the chapter number inside sectioning elements (section, subsection, etc) after a \chapter*{}
declaration in a book?
I need a numbering like this:
CHAPTER 1
1.1 Section
1.1.1 Subsection
Figure 1.1
UNNUMBERED CHAPTER
1 Section
1.1 Subsection
Figure 1
I need this only for one unnumbered chapter inside the book, not for all of them. The reason is that I need a unnumbered section (with a chapter level) followed by numbered sections and floats without the previous chapter number. So required by document layout rules.
