How to make subsection with new format?

[yusie1978]

Hi,

I have a problem with \StartSubSection command. First, if we use the following command: \StartSubSection{Example}{label:subsection}

then what we have is the numbers in front of "Example", e.g.: "1.1.2 Example"

What I want to have is just like this: "a. Example"

When I type "\StartSubSection*{a. Example}--(just like ordinary LaTeX command)--it doesn't work.

Please tell me how to solve this problem..

Regards,

Yusie

You can take a look the section 章節標題的設定 in conf.tex, I wrote a detail about how to change format of Chapter / Section / SubSection / etc.

In your case, you should use the following command:

\SetNumberingFormat[SubSection]{%
  BeginText = {}, EndText = {.},
  TextAlign = {Left},
  CNumStyle = {}, SNumStyle = {}, SSNumStyle = {LowerAlph},
  SepAtIndex = {.}, SepBetweenCnS = {}, SepBetweenSnSS = {},
} % End of \SetNumberingFormat{}

I think you should be OK right now. Feel free to re-open this issue if you need further assistance.

Actually, i tried many time but it didn't work...

If i follow the manual reference of 章節標題的設定 in conf.tex,, the "\subsection" will be shown in TOC (table of content), but actually, I don't want it happen.

I just want to make a simple like \subsection{1. Example} as in ordinary latex (in which this "\subsection{...}" will not be printed out in TOC).

I think I got your point. But can you provide a example TOC of your meaning ? I want to confirm that my understanding is correct.

Here is how i modified:

And here's how it "showed" in TOC.

Although I am still little bit confused, but I think I got your point.

If you want the TOC show as:

2.1 Introduction
    a. Definitions
    b.  ...
    ... ...

You should use the following in conf.tex:

\SetNumberingFormat[SubSection]{%
  BeginText = {}, EndText = {},
  TextAlign = {Left},
  CNumStyle = {}, SNumStyle = {}, SSNumStyle = {LowerAlph},
  SepAtIndex = {.}, SepBetweenCnS = {}, SepBetweenSnSS = {},
} % End of \SetNumberingFormat{}

But if you want the TOC show as:

2.1 Introduction
    Definitions
    ...
    ...

You should try this:

\SetNumberingFormat[SubSection]{%
  BeginText = {}, EndText = {},
  TextAlign = {Left},
  CNumStyle = {}, SNumStyle = {}, SSNumStyle = {},
  SepAtIndex = {}, SepBetweenCnS = {}, SepBetweenSnSS = {},
} % End of \SetNumberingFormat{}

Is this fit your needs ?

[yusie1978]

Not really, i am sorry for your misconception...

I don't mean like those two examples you gave... what I mean is, in my chapter 2 (for example), there is as following:

Chapter 2 Introduction 2.1 Background ... a. Application Examples I %--> which is a subsection or subsubsection b. Application Example II .. 2.2 Problem Statements 2.3 Design Controllers

Then, in my TOC, we'll have:

Chapter 2. Introduction 2.1 Background 2.2 Problem Statements 2.3 Design Controllers

where there is no letter 'a' or 'b' in TOC for "application example I" and "application example II", respectively.

Best regards,

Yusie

I got your point now.

First you need to make sure that the \SetNumberingFormat{} ONLY exist in conf.tex.

In you case, I think it is a subsection:

Chapter 2 Introduction
2.1 Background
...
a. Application Examples I %--> I think this should be a subsection
b. Application Example II
..
2.2 Problem Statements
2.3 Design Controllers

So use the following command in conf.tex:

\SetNumberingFormat[SubSection]{%
  BeginText = {}, EndText = {},
  TextAlign = {Left},
  CNumStyle = {}, SNumStyle = {}, SSNumStyle = {LowerAlph},
  SepAtIndex = {.}, SepBetweenCnS = {}, SepBetweenSnSS = {},
} % End of \SetNumberingFormat{}

If you see the TOC show this again:

Chapter 2. Introduction
2.1 Background
2.2 Problem Statements
2.3 Design Controllers

Then you MUST exist \SetNumberingFormat[SubSection]{ ... } somewhere else which overwrite the configure above:

\SetNumberingFormat[SubSection]{%
  BeginText = {}, EndText = {},
  TextAlign = {Left},
  CNumStyle = {}, SNumStyle = {}, SSNumStyle = {},
  SepAtIndex = {}, SepBetweenCnS = {}, SepBetweenSnSS = {},
} % End of \SetNumberingFormat{}

So your target is:

1. Erase all \SetNumberingFormat[SubSection]{ ... } from all files including the commented line from files conf.tex and context/...
2. Compile and check what will show in the TOC
3. Re-insert the command into conf.tex to do the configure
