subsubsections numbered with letters

Post by florencia »

Hello.
I would like to number the subsubsections of my document (documentclass{book}) with letters (a, b, c, etc) instead of numbers. How could I do that?
Thanks.

The following:

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\alph{subsubsection}}

Works for me. Use \Alph instead of \alph if you want uppercase numbers.

... or

Code: Select all

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\thesubsection.\alph{subsubsection}}
if you want to inherit the numbering of the subsections.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
