Need Roman numerals for sections, letters for subsections (LaTeX)

[Richard Stanton]

A journal requires that sections and subsections look like this:

II. Section 2

A. First subsection

In addition, I use \ref{sectionlabel} in the text to refer to sections
by number. These also need to appear as Roman numerals.

How do I get LaTeX(2e) to do all this (using the "article" document
class)? (I'd like not only to change the numerical style, but also add
the "." after the number in the header, but NOT in textual references
to the section).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Doing what you ask is pretty trivial:

\renewcommand\thesection{\Roman{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\Alph{subsection}}
\renewcommand\@seccntformat[1]{\csname the#1\endcsname.}

This will make all the things you ask for work but:

-- subsubsections will come out as A.1. (for example), which may not
be what you want/like (or you may not care)
-- references to subsections won't give any context; I would be
inclined to add to the above:

\renewcommand\p@subsection{\thesection--}

or something like that.

The code I've written needs to be in a package file, or within
\makeatletter ... \makeatother, since it refers to LaTeX internal
names.
