Text Formatting ⇒ Subsection starting with "1"

[Andreas Knafl]

Hey Guys!
I'd like to start my subsection at "1". So when I would start a section and ask for \thesubsection , the output should be "1". And when I start a subsection and ask again , then \thesubsection should be "2"

I've tried to solve this problem by including a new, independent counter enumi. I added it into the titlesec but it won't work
And the way to use \setcounter just works for the first section

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a5paper]{scrbook}

%% Language and font encodings
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[a5paper,top=1cm,bottom=1cm,left=1cm,right=1cm,marginparwidth=1.75cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath}


\begin{document}
\setcounter{chapter}{1}
\setcounter{subsection}{1}
\thesubsection
\section{Introduction}
\section{Some examples to get started}
\thesubsection
\subsection{How to add Comments}
\end{document}

\chapter{Introduction}

[Stefan Kottwitz]

We should use \chapter and \section before \subsection, otherwise the logic is broken. Even though it can be made with LaTeX. Did you ever see a serious book starting with a subsection? Perhaps with an abstract though or any other non-sectioning environment.

Thank you Stephan ! I'll try it

[Stefan Kottwitz]

For example:

Code: Select all

\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}

The abstract name (heading) can be customized. Such an introductional thing doesn't need to be numbered. Numbers make sense when an object (section, equation etc.) may be referenced. But also unnumbered things can be added to the table of contents.
