<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label seccntfmt</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Adjusting the presentation of section numbers</h3>
<p>The general issues of adjusting the appearance of section headings are
pretty complex, and are covered in
the question on
<a href="FAQ-secthead.html">the style of section headings</a>.
<p>However, people regularly want merely to change the way the section
number appears in the heading, and some such people don’t mind writing
out a few macros. This answer is for <em>them</em>.
<p>The section number is typeset using the
<a href="FAQ-atsigns.html">LaTeX internal</a>
<code>\</code><code>@seccntformat</code> command, which is given the “name” (section,
subsection, ...) of the heading, as argument. Ordinarily,
<code>\</code><code>@seccntformat</code>
merely outputs the section number, and then a <code>\</code><code>quad</code> of space.
Suppose you want to put a stop after every section (subsection,
subsubsection, ...) number, a trivial change may be implemented by
simple modification of the command:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\renewcommand*{\@seccntformat}[1]{%
\csname the#1\endcsname.\quad
}
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
<p>Many people (for some reason) want a stop after a section number, but
not after a subsection number, or any of the others.
To do this, one must make <code>\</code><code>@seccntformat</code> switch according to its
argument. The following technique for doing the job is slightly
wasteful, but is efficient enough for a relatively rare operation:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\let\@@seccntformat\@seccntformat
\renewcommand*{\@seccntformat}[1]{%
\expandafter\ifx\csname @seccntformat@#1\endcsname\relax
\expandafter\@@seccntformat
\else
\expandafter
\csname @seccntformat@#1\expandafter\endcsname
\fi
{#1}%
}
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
which looks to see if a second-level command has been defined, and
uses it if so; otherwise it uses the original. The second-level
command to define stops after section numbers (only) has the same
definition as the original “all levels alike” version:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\newcommand*{\@seccntformat@section}[1]{%
\csname the#1\endcsname.\quad
}
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
Note that all the command definitions of this answer are dealing in
<a href="FAQ-atsigns.html">LaTeX internal commands</a>, so the above
code should be in a package file, for preference.
<p>The <i>Koma-script</i> classes have different commands for specifying
changes to section number presentation: <code>\</code><code>partformat</code>,
<code>\</code><code>chapterformat</code> and <code>\</code><code>othersectionlevelsformat</code>, but otherwise
their facilities are similar to those of “raw” LaTeX.
