As a follow-up to this question, I'd like to know if it is possible to automatically include the current section number, including all nesting levels, in the list number. How do I accomplish this?
Example of what I want:
\section{This is section 1}
\pointedenum\begin{enumerate}
\item This item has number 1.1.
\item This item has number 1.2.
\pointedenum\begin{enumerate}
\item This item has number 1.2.1.
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{This is section 1.1}
\pointedenum\begin{enumerate}
\item This item has number 1.1.1.
\item This item has number 1.1.2.
\end{enumerate}
% etcetera...
Best Answer
You could redefine
\theenumi
using\thesection
:In that case omit
\pointedenum
, it would destroy that redefinition.That may also be done using
\thesubsection
.Alternatively, here's code using the
enumitem
package:Using
enumitem
you're able to continue numbering by\begin{enumerate}[resume]
if you like.
