What is the LaTeX document class for a document that has sections numbered numerically like 2.3.2.4, 2.3.2.5, etc.? Thanks.

  • Welcome to TeX.SE. Do you mean sections? Or subsections? Or subsubsections? Most classes can do that, given that \setcounter{secnumdepth}{3} is used and it has a chapter.section.subsection.subsubsection hierarchy

  • Second book, third part, second chapter, fourth and fifth section?

  • almost every latex class numbers sections/subsections in that way, certainly the standard article, report and book classes.

  • Sorry, I was confused. I was using a specialized document class, and I forgot that the standard classes can do that.

  • @Russ apart from letter classes I would have thought pretty much all latex classes have hierarchical numbering like this. It is built in to latex so a class would have to actively disable it.

almost all latex classes will do this but you may have to increase secnumdepth so that lower level section headings are numbered.

enter image description here

\documentclass{report}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}
\begin{document}

\chapter{zzz}
zz
\section{Zzzzz}
zz
\chapter{Zzzzzz}
zz
\section{zZZz}
zz
\subsection{ZzzZz z}
zz
\subsection{ZzzZz z z}
zz
\section{zZZzzzz}
zz
\subsection{Zz zZz z z}
zz
\section{zZZzzzz}
zz
\subsection{ZzzZ}
zz
\subsection{ZzzZZZz}
zz
\subsubsection{ZzzZ}
zz
\subsubsection{ZzzZZZzz}
zz
\subsubsection{ZzzZZZzzz}
zz
\subsubsection{ZzzZZZzzzz}
zz
\subsubsection{ZzzZZZzzzz}
zz


\end{document}
