[Tex/LaTex] Latex how to call subsubsections in text

best practicescross-referencingsectioning

I am writing a large text using Latex, where I use chapters, sections, subsections, subsubsections and paragraphs. My problem is that I would like to write, in my text, something like "this is described in the following subsubseciton", but for obvious reasons I am reluctant to use the word "subsection" in the text, so I was wondering if that is the right word to use (I cannot use words as section, subsection, paragraph and chapter because they are already used somewhere else).

Best Answer

You can use the cleveref package and code \cref{<subsubsectionlabel>}, which will print as Section x.y.z. The difference between the various sectioning levels is reflected in the numbering.

You also can customise the string which will appear as the subsubsection name with

\crefname{subsubsection}{\S}{\S}
\Crefname{subsubsection}{\S}{\S}

These can go either in your preamble or in a cleveref.cfg file.
