chaptersnumberingsectioningtable of contents
I'm typesetting a book and one of the chapters separates into two chapters so I need it to count like so:
chapter 1
---------
chapter 2a
----------
chapter 2b
----------
chapter 3
---------
chapter 4
---------
I saw an almost solution here. But this solution doesn't allow me to continue with my non-separated chapter counting.
This is chapters only, the sections are not numbered, and I'm using the book class with the hyperref package.
You should use \include instead of \input, and then in the preamble say with \includeonly which of the included files you want in your pdf file, like this:
\documentclass{memoir}
\includeonly{chapter1,chapter3}
\begin{document}
\include{chapter1}
\include{chapter2}
\include{chapter3}
\end{document}
The first run(s) of pdflatex should be done without the \includeonly in order to get all the references right.
Package hyperref needs the counter values to generate unique anchor names. But there are counter values that are not unique. For example, you have several sections with number 1.
Because of this, hyperref has introduced \theH<counter> and prefers it over \the<counter> for use in anchor names. \the<counter> might contain weird or duplicate values. As long as \theH<counter> expands to a simple unique string, hyperref is happy.
The following example provides unique definitions for \theHsection:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{bookmark}
\bookmarksetup{
numbered,
open
}
\renewcommand*{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{First numbered chapter}
\section{AB}
\section{BC}
\section{DE}
\chapter*{First unnumbered chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{First unnumbered chapter}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\renewcommand*{\theHsection}{chX.\the\value{section}}
\section{FG}
\section{HI}
\section{IJ}
\chapter*{Second unnumbered chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Second unnumbered chapter}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\renewcommand*{\theHsection}{chY.\the\value{section}}
\section{KL}
\section{MN}
\section{NO}
\renewcommand*{\theHsection}{\theHchapter.\the\value{section}}
\chapter{Last numbered chapter}
\section{PQ}
\section{RS}
\section{TU}
\end{document}

If you're using one of the standard document class that provides
\chapter(likebookorreport), then the following works:The idea behind this solution is to patch
\@chapterand insert a special macro\updatechaptercounter. This macro is then redefined in a specific way, depending on whether you start the sub-chapter numbering (\startsubchapters) or stop it (\stopsubchapters).If you're using
hyperrefas well, then you need to update the patch as indicated in the above MWE.
