General ⇒ Separate section numbering

[andreaskn]

Hi,

I'm writing a report for a school project where I have sections and subsections. After the 6th section I want to restart the numbering and begin with roman numbers and then go back to arabic and continue the previous numbering. Like this:

6
6.1
6.2
I
-I.1
-I.2
II
-II.1
-II.2
7
-7.1
-7.2

I read in another topic that this can be done for chapters with these two

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand*{\thesection}{\thechapter.\arabic{section}}

But I use article as documentclass and only sections and subsubsections.

I hope you can help me

Hi and welcome.

Well, this can certainly be done, but ...
The reader will be more than confused that the numbering is changing, and then changing again.

Are you sure you want to confuse your readers?


You can replace the instances of chapter with section, and the instances of section with subsection.

Maybe it isn't a good idea then..

Thank you for your help
