section subsections

Post by coast »

I would like to create a document with numbering like this:

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text

1.2 sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text


2.0 SITE AND SURROUNDINGS

2.1 sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text

Etc…

I can’t do this with \section{} and \subsection{} since it all comes out as bold.
Any Ideas?

Thanks achim. I didn't get exactly how the startsection markup works.
I've looked for an example useage but have found none.

So far this is my solution:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\begin{enumerate}
\item{\textbf{Introduction}}
\item[1.1]{Sample text sample text sample text}
\item[1.2]{Sample text sample text sample text}
\item{\textbf{Conclusion}}
\end{enumerate}
%indentation above is only for clarity and does not affect output
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The problem is the item 1.1 and 1.2 are not indented properly. I've tried \begin{align} and \end{align}, but it produces errors.

I wouldn't use an enumerate environment -- that's not going to work well unless each section is less than a paragraph. Try the titlesec package. Here's something to get you started, but you'll want to read the documentation.

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}% command to be formatted
{\bfseries}% format applied to both num and title
{\thesection.\arabic{subsection}}% the number format
{0.5em}% space between num. and title
{\MakeUppercase}% formatting for title only
\titleformat{\subsection}% command to be formatted
[runin]% shape -- see documentation
{}% format applied to both num and title
{\thesubsection}% the number format
{0.5em}% space between num. and title
{}% formatting for title only
\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{} sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text
sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text
sample text sample text sample text
\subsection{} sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text
sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text
sample text sample text sample text
\section{Site and Surroundings}
\subsection{} sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text
sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text sample text
sample text sample text sample text
\end{document}
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The output looks like this:
