:  subsubsections should be numbered? 


In "A Guide to LATEX 2e, 2nd edition", by Kopka and Daly, Addison Wesley, they 
write on page 40:


"Section numbering is carried out to the level given by the number 
secnumdepth. This limit is set to 2 for book and report, and to 3 for article. 
This means that for book and report, the section numbering extends only to the 
level of \subsection and for article to \subsubsection.


"In order to extend {or reduce} the level of the section numbering, it is 
necesssary to change the value of secnumdepth. This is done with the command


\setcounter{secnumdepth}{<italic>num</italic>}


"... In article, <italic>num</italic> may take on values from 0 to 5, and in 
book and report from -1 to 5."


According to the authors (on the same page), there are 5 levels of numbering:


level 1 is \section

level 2 is \subsection

level 3 is \subsubsection

level 4 is \paragraph

level 5 is \subparagraph


Level 1 is always \section, so that is class article, \part is level 0, while 
in book and report \part is level -1, and \chapter is level 0.


I hasten to add that I am just quoting the book---I don't use a lot of section 
numbering myself, so I haven't tried this.


Hope this helps!


Wes
