General ⇒ modifying section numbering

[ivanwest]

Hi all,
A quick question. I want to be able to change the section numbering so that a word is included with the counter, eg

[1. This is a heading]
[2. This is another heading]

I want to be able to do this

[Annex 1. This is the heading I want]
[Annex 2. Like this would be great]

I also need this new section to be included in the toc

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

the titlesec package provides an interface for the customization of sectioning commands. See it's documentation. To adjust the toc entries you could use titletoc or tocloft.

Here is one example that implements the mentioned features:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{titlesec,titletoc}
\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}
  {Annex \thesection.}{1em}{}
\titlecontents{section}[0em]{\bfseries}{Annex \thecontentslabel.\space}{\hspace*{-2.3em}}
  {\space\titlerule*[0.5pc]{.}\contentspage}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\bigskip
\section{Introduction}
Text
\section{Test}
More Text
\end{document}
