Section heading before numbering

Post by jodles »

Hi!

Is there any way to get the heading text of a section before the number?

Usually it is "1 Your text", but I want to have each section heading like "Problem 1", "Problem 2", and so on.

Thanks!:)

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Take a look at the titlesec package. A relevant example can be found on the bottom of page 23 in the manual.

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.
