I’m using the report class (actually KOMA-Script’s scrreport, but I have the exact same behaviour in the standard report class). I am splitting the document into parts because they are relatively self-contained. However, this is causing me some problems, which I think are probably interconnected in various ways.
Although page numbers should be continuous throughout the document, footnote and section numbers should reset in each part.
Section numbering related issues:
- Section numbers include chapter. As there are no chapters, section numbers are of the form 0.1, 0.2.
- Section numbers do not reset when I start a new part, so if Part One contained three sections, the first section of Part Two will be number 4 (well, actually 0.4, see above).
Footnote related:
- Footnote numbering does not reset when I start a new part.
- [EDIT] I just discovered biblatex’s
citeresetoption. Using\usepackage[style=verbose,citereset=part]{biblatex}solves this fourth issue. [Original question for reference] I am using the biblatex’s “verbose” style, where references are given in full (in footnotes) the first time, and then in shortened form thereafter. Perhaps because the footnote numbering is not being reset, if a text has been cited in a previous part any further citation in a subsequent part will be the short form. As the parts are supposed to be almost self-contained this isn’t really acceptable. (In the MWE the footnotes in Part Two should be identical to the footnotes in Part One.)
I think this MWE shows the problems very clearly:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}

Thank you in advance for any help.
articleclass?\partand use\chapterinstead the other three questions are more or less resolved. (I would prefer section numbers to not include the chapter number, but it’s not a big deal.) And then I would need to investigate a way to give chapters their own title page. I thought the way I initially approached this would be the path of least resistance, but maybe not.
