\subsubsubsection in LaTeX
Douglas C. Schmidt
Hi,
I'm curious whether anyone has a hack to add integrated
support for some feature akin to a \subsubsubsection section specifier
in LaTeX? I know that the LaTeX manual says that \subsubsection is
the highest level of sectioning officially supported, (and I also know
that good style dictates not having zillions of subsubsubsections,
etc.). I'm stuck integrating a previous existing LaTeX document into
a larger document (grant proposal stuff, you know), and it would be
really nice if I could get that extra level of sectioning!
If there is no good way to do this, does anyone know a good
workaround?!
Thanks,
doug

Look into art??.doc (or art??.sty) where the sectioning commands are
defined. Write a small style option file that contains exactly one
definition for \subsubsubsection. How to do that is explained in the
.doc file.

Aren't there lower sectioning commands (such as \paragraph) ?

There are other sectioning commands liek \paragraph and \subparagraph.
You can get these to number by setting the secnumdepth counter to be
more.
\documentstyle {report}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\begin{document}
\chapter{First Chapter}
\section{Section One}
The text that follows.
\subsection{Subsection One}
The text that follows.
\subsubsection{Subsubsection One}
The text that follows.
\paragraph{Paragraph One}
The text that follows.
\end{document}
This produces numbering like
{\bf Chapter 1
First Chapter}
{\bf 1.1 Section One}
The text that follows.
{\bf 1.1.1 Subsection One}
The text that follows.
{\bf 1.1.1.1 Subsubsection One}
The text that follows.
{\bf 1.1.1.1.1 Paragraph One} The text that follows.
If you want \paragraph to be like \subsubsection, just copy the
\@startsection definition. Since you don't say which style you
were using, here is for the report style at 10pt.
\makeatletter
\def\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}{-3.25ex plus
-1ex minus -.2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}{\normalsize\bf}}
\makeatother

In the corresponding style file -- In this case I will use report.sty
since you have not specified -- definitions for each counter. Since
each counter is defined in terms of the previous counter, you need to
make sure that you remove excess periods.
Old definitions:
% Produces 1.1
\def\thesection {\thechapter.\arabic{section}}
% Produces 1.1.1
\def\thesubsection {\thesection.\arabic{subsection}}
% Produces 1.1.1.1
\def\thesubsubsection {\thesubsection .\arabic{subsubsection}}
% Produces 1.1.1.1.1
\def\theparagraph {\thesubsubsection.\arabic{paragraph}}
New definitions:
% Produces 1.1.
\def\thesection {\thechapter.\arabic{section}.}
% Produces 1.1.1.
\def\thesubsection {\thesection\arabic{subsection}.}
% Produces 1.1.1.1.
\def\thesubsubsection {\thesubsection\arabic{subsubsection}.}
% Produces 1.1.1.1.1.
\def\theparagraph {\thesubsubsection\arabic{paragraph}.}

-------------------------------------------
This may not be a completely satisfactory solution, since \thesection also
produces the number for \ref. This means that the extra period will also show
in a \ref, which is probably not desired.
Another possible solution is to go after \@startsection in latex.tex. This
will lead to the defintion of \sect, which has code to print the name and
number of any section. This code could be copied and modified at the top of
your input file. I haven't done this, but if the original poster needs
additional info, send e-mail to me.

Darrel is certainly correct. I did not mention that I tried
what anita suggested before putting up the post. Since then we
have found a solution in the latex.tex \@sect definition as Darrel
suggest.
***** from harriet...@mts.rpi.edu ****
If you copy the following lines to your preamble (between the
\documentstyle command and the \begin{document} command)
you should get numbers for section,
subsection and subsection that look like: 1. 1.1. 1.1.1.
These lines are copied out of the file latex.tex, where latex's
macros are defined. (The macro \@sect is used in the \startsection
macro.) The only thing I changed was to add a "." in the 4th line.

Why did not? This certainly would have determined how I would
have answered the question. In the future take the time to specify as
much detail as possible. You could have provided an example of the file
you used and got the wrong results. Then we would have know a lot
more information.

If you are integrating lots of documents that are written for the
article style, you should probably use the book or report styles. Then
you can use \chapter as an extra level *upwards*. Then you won't need
to change every \section to \subsection, \subsection to
\subsubsection, etc.
This won't help you, of course, if any of the documents you are
integrating actually uses \chapter...
