Text Formatting ⇒ Include chapter number in section number

[Toty]

Hi,

I'd like to include the chapter number into my section numbers. Usually it is automatically done, but not in this Template that I'm working with, which doesn't offer me any support

The part of the template the controls the chapter/sections formatting goes:

Code: Select all

%%%%% CHAPTER HEADER %%%%
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\newcommand*\chapterlabel{}
%\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]  % type (section,chapter,etc...) to vary,  shape (eg display-type)
	{\normalfont\bfseries\Huge} % format of the chapter
		{\gdef\chapterlabel{\thechapter\ }}     % the label 
 	{0pt} % separation between label and chapter-title
 	  {\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node[yshift=-8cm] at (current page.north west)
      {\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
        \draw[fill=black] (0,0) rectangle(35.5mm,15mm);
        \node[anchor=north east,yshift=-7.2cm,xshift=34mm,minimum height=30mm,inner sep=0mm] at (current page.north west)
        {\parbox[top][30mm][t]{15mm}{\raggedleft $\phantom{\textrm{l}}$\color{white}\chapterlabel}};  %the black l is just to get better base-line alingement
        \node[anchor=north west,yshift=-7.2cm,xshift=37mm,text width=\textwidth,minimum height=30mm,inner sep=0mm] at (current page.north west)
              {\parbox[top][30mm][t]{\textwidth}{\color{black}#1}};
       \end{tikzpicture}
      };
   \end{tikzpicture}
   \gdef\chapterlabel{}
  } % code before the title body

\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{50pt}{30pt}
\titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{13.2pt}{*0}  % 13.2pt is line spacing for a text with 11pt font size
\titlespacing*{\subsection}{0pt}{13.2pt}{*0}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsection}{0pt}{13.2pt}{*0}

\newcounter{myparts}
\newcommand*\partlabel{}
\titleformat{\part}[display]  % type (section,chapter,etc...) to vary,  shape (eg display-type)
	{\normalfont\bfseries\Huge} % format of the part
	{\gdef\partlabel{\thepart\ }}     % the label 
 	{0pt} % separation between label and part-title
 	  {\setlength{\unitlength}{20mm}
	  \addtocounter{myparts}{1}
	  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node[anchor=north west,xshift=-65mm,yshift=-6.9cm-\value{myparts}*20mm] at (current page.north east) % for unknown reasons: 3mm missing -> 65 instead of 62
      {\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
        \draw[fill=black] (0,0) rectangle(62mm,20mm);   % -\value{myparts}\unitlength
        \node[anchor=north west,yshift=-6.1cm-\value{myparts}*20mm,xshift=-60.5mm,minimum height=30mm,inner sep=0mm] at (current page.north east)
        {\parbox[top][30mm][t]{55mm}{\raggedright \color{white}Part \partlabel $\phantom{\textrm{l}}$}};  %the phantom l is just to get better base-line alingement
        \node[anchor=north east,yshift=-6.1cm-\value{myparts}*20mm,xshift=-63.5mm,text width=\textwidth,minimum height=30mm,inner sep=0mm] at (current page.north east)
              {\parbox[top][30mm][t]{\textwidth}{\raggedleft \color{black}#1}};
       \end{tikzpicture}
      };
   \end{tikzpicture}
   \gdef\partlabel{}
  } % code before the title body

Does anyone knows how to solve this ? I've been visiting many pages and forums on the Net but can't find a way out.

Thanks

Hi Toty,

welcome to the board!

The macro \thesection prints the section number, so you could redefine it, such as

Code: Select all

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

Usually the section counter is automatically reset at the beginning of each chapter. Perhaps your template does ist already, if not and if it's required, let us know. In this case I would recommend to use chngcntr instead of the line above.

You need to give us more information, i.e. a minimal working example which shows the unwanted behaviour. I included your code in the example below and get sections numbered “1.1” and “2.1”, resp.

Code: Select all

        {\normalfont\bfseries\Huge} % format of the chapter
                {\gdef\chapterlabel{\thechapter\ }}     % the label 
        {0pt} % separation between label and chapter-title
          {\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
