Page Layout ⇒ Unwanted zero in paragraph number

[ozymandias]

Hey,

I want to number my paragraphs, so have used:

Code: Select all

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}

however it numbers the paragraphs in the output file as :
3.1.2.0.4

I really want it to be: 3.1.2.4

any help would be greatly appreciated,

Erik

Hi Erik,

welcome to the board!
I guess you're missing \subsubsection commands, this would match the sectioning level between \subsection and \paragraph. If you don't use \subsubsection before \paragraph the described behavior could happen.

gosh, I am blind. I was so set in my mind that subsection is followed by paragraph that when I read all the pages and articles trying to solve the problem I didn't even notice the correct level structure.

thanks for your help, my life can now continue!
