[Tex/LaTex] How to add a dot after the section number

numberingpunctuationsectioning

I wonder is there any way to change the format of section numbering from 1.1 to 1.1. ? I know this is trivial, but I really need to add one more dot after the section number. Does anybody know how to do that?

Thanks a lot

You can do this simply with the titlesec package:

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titlelabel{\thetitle.\quad}

Although your question is closely related to the following question, the numbering scheme you want is different.

Continuous v. per-chapter/section numbering of figures, tables, and other document elements

The general solution is the same, however:

Use the chngcntr package to determine which counters depend on which. In your case, you want the table counter to depend on the section counter, so you add

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin{table}{section}

The Spanish module for babel is responsible for this, probably following some directive of the authority on the language. There is an additional option for disabling it:

\usepackage[spanish,es-lcroman,es-nosectiondot]{babel}

See section 2.3 in the documentation for the Spanish option (texdoc spanish or here on TeXdoc.net).

There will be no need to act on \@seccntformat.

In order to keep the period after the chapter number (although I don't see why), patch the \@chapter command:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd\@chapter{\numberline{\thechapter}}{\numberline{\thechapter.}}{}{}
\makeatother
