Text Formatting ⇒ Changing the Section numbering Format

[akm3]

Hi,
In the following document, the section numbers appear as:
0.1
0.2
0.3
how can I change it to appear as:
1
2
3

Code: Select all

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\documentclass[11pt]{report}

\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\hyphenation{itself}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Executive Summary}


\title{An Analytical Framework for Real-Time }
\author{Principal Investigator: //////}

\begin{document}


\singlespace
\maketitle
\tableofcontents

\begin{abstract}                % ~350 words max
ABSTRACT
\end{abstract}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{1}
\titlelabel{\thetitle\quad}


\section{Introduction}
SEC1
\section{Management Requirements}\label{sec:implem}
SEC2
\section{Work Plan}
SEC2

\end{document}

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}

should do it.

Personally, however, I'd use the article class rather than the report class for a document that did not have chapters, and then it'll happen automatically.

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}

should do it. [...]

This will have no effect. Changing the document class from report to article will have the desired result. In chapter based classes sections are numbered in the 'chapter.section' system.

It most certainly does have an effect--the desired one. I tested it before I posted, and just tested it again.

Still, as I already said, I agree with the suggestion to change the document class.
