LyX ⇒ part section numbering

[jalea148]

Article has multiple parts and sections within each. The section numbering does not initialize after a new part. For example, if the last section in Part I is numbered 4, I would like the 1st section in Part II numbered 1; not 5.

Two solutions are here: How to reset section numbering by part.

In short: either use a local layout in LyX: go into Document Settings, select Local Layout from the list, paste the contents of the Code section below into the box and click the Validate button, then click OK.

Code: Select all

Counter section
        Within               part
End

Or, add this code to your document preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin*{section}{part}

Thank you. I have 2 other solutions. For me, no section numbering is acceptable. If it were important [thought contrary to LYX philosophy] the section numbers could be added to the section titles.
