Text Formatting ⇒ Trouble with section numbering

[dawadoc]

Hi,

I'm writting down my thesis and I'm stuck with a little numbering problem.

I renewed the way chapter and section are numbered:

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}

Obviously, when I call a section with the \ref command, latex only displays the section number.

How can i force latex to dipslay the chapter number too without having the chapter number in the section numbering ?

Thx for your help

There may be a package that already does this, but if not, you can create a new command to use instead of \ref

Calling it \cref, it takes the label as an argument as with \ref, but displays the current chapter first then the section number.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}

\newcommand\cref[1]{\thechapter.\ref{#1}}

\begin{document}

\chapter{First}

\section{One}\label{sec:1.1}

Blah blah blah \cref{sec:1.1} blah lah blah.

\chapter{Second}

\section{Two}\label{sec:2.1}

Blah blah blah \cref{sec:2.1} blah lah blah.

\end{document}

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\def\p@section{\thechapter}%
\makeatother

to get C4 for section 4 of chapter C.

or

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\def\p@section{\thechapter.}%
\makeatother

to get C.4

i think i would go for having the "." in there.
