How to configure word used for part, 4 levels of subdivision

Post by Paul Richards »

Hi, I am writing a thesis with LyX and I want 4 levels of section numbering, i.e "a.b.c.d", where a is the chapter number. I am using the article document class. I have tried making the chapter heading a Part. The problem is, it numbers it in roman numerals and puts the word "Part" before it.

It shows:
Part I
Introduction


Whereas I want something like:
Chapter 1:
Introduction


or maybe just
1. Introduction

NB: I tried another alternative, of making the chapters a section, which was not so bad. However, then I had to make my lowest level a paragraph, and whilst you can turn on the numbering for these, it does not leave a line space between the heading and the text, and I want this line space.

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

Consider using the report class, it's got chapters.
