Hi,
In reference to the suggestion to http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... =20#p85799, I'm starting a new thread.
I request the community's help because I've not succeeded in getting this right, and its very urgent for submitting some legal documents.
I have a document in which sections appear as:
Section 1. List of Documents
1.1 Subsection: Documents about Tax
1. Document 1
2. Document 2
3. Explanation of Document 3
a. Executed on date1
b. Submitted on date2
c. Updated and resubmitted on date 3
And I'd like to created references in the following form:
1.1(3)(a)
Have tried my best and due to the impeding deadline decided to ask here. If anyone can help, I'll appreciate it!

Re: Creating enums and references in the format 1.7(1)(a)
I'll have a look over this in my lunch break, i would appreciate a bit more information tough. What documentclass are you using? Are you open to using the KOMA-script alternative?
This counting/labeling scheme is usual in legal documents, as you mentioned before (though i wonder who came up with this). Shall all your sectional headings have the same size?
Can you be more specific on the nesting. I wasn't able to detect a scheme in your example above. You can use the word section (with the riht amount of »sub« to mark lower levels) or just use the word level with a number.

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
Creating enums and references in the format 1.7(1)(a)
This kind of references to list items is best done with the
enumitem package
But I am not sure, if this what the OP really wants.

Code: Select all
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}%
\begin{document}
\section{List of Documents}
\subsection{Documents about Tax}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Document 1
\item Document 2
\item Explanations on Document 3
\begin{enumerate}[label={\alph*)},ref={\thesubsection(\arabic{enumi})(\alph*)}]
\item Executed on date1 \label{date::executed}%
\item Submitted on date2 \label{date::submitted}%
\item Updated and resubmitted on date3 \label{date::updated}%
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
Those are the three references:
\ref{date::executed}
\ref{date::submitted}
\ref{date::updated}
\end{document}

Thanks, looks very much like the format I was looking for. I'll try your technique. Many thanks to both of youBlackForestrian wrote:This kind of references to list items is best done with theenumitem package
