+<h3>Why are my sections numbered 0.1 ...?</h3>
+<p/>This happens when your document is using the standard <i>book</i> or
+<i>report</i> class (or one similar), and you&rsquo;ve got a <code>\</code><code>section</code>
+before your first <code>\</code><code>chapter</code>.
+<p/>What happens is, that the class numbers sections as
+&ldquo;&lt;<i>chapter no</i>&gt;.&lt;<i>section no</i>&gt;&rdquo;, and until the first
+chapter has appeared, the chapter number is 0.
+<p/>If you&rsquo;re doing this, it&rsquo;s quite likely that the <i>article</i> class
+is for you; try it and see. Otherwise, give your sections a
+&lsquo;superior&rsquo; chapter, or do away with section numbering by using
+<code>\</code><code>section*</code> instead. An alternative way of avoiding numbering is
+discussed in
+&ldquo;<a href="FAQ-secnumdep.html">unnumbered sections in the table of contents</a>&rdquo;.
