General ⇒ Extra section levels

[skrat]

Hi,

In order to finish my paper I would need more levels.
So far I have used \section than \subsection than \subsubsection which is basically all that latex has defined by default. (I want them to be numbered and also shown in the table of contents).
So I googled and found out this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... subsection

And used the following code:

Code: Select all

\titleclass{\subsubsubsection}{straight}[\subsection]

\newcounter{subsubsubsection}[subsubsection]
\renewcommand\thesubsubsubsection{\thesubsubsection.\arabic{subsubsubsection}}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{\thesubsubsubsection.\arabic{paragraph}} % optional; useful if paragraphs are to be numbered

\titleformat{\subsubsubsection}
  {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsubsubsection}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsubsection}
{0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{5}{\z@}%
  {3.25ex \@plus1ex \@minus.2ex}%
  {-1em}%
  {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\renewcommand\subparagraph{\@startsection{subparagraph}{6}{\parindent}%
  {3.25ex \@plus1ex \@minus .2ex}%
  {-1em}%
  {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\def\toclevel@subsubsubsection{4}
\def\toclevel@paragraph{5}
\def\toclevel@paragraph{6}
\def\l@subsubsubsection{\@dottedtocline{4}{7em}{4em}}
\def\l@paragraph{\@dottedtocline{5}{10em}{5em}}
\def\l@subparagraph{\@dottedtocline{6}{14em}{6em}}
\makeatother
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}

This code adds \subsubsubsection and \paragraph. But there is one small bug in this code: The \paragraph counter does not reset after entering a new \subsubsubsection. Does anybody here have any ideas on how to correct than or maybe has an easier/better solution to my problem?

thanks for all the ideas!

I don't know why this happens to me, but usually as soon as i post anything i find a solution myself. I know, I am horrible.

I found a much easier solution on this forum: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... ?f=5&t=791

problem solved. Thanks!
