punctuationsectioning
Right now this I'm getting this for my first subsubsection:
G.1.1.
I would like for this to be
G1.1.
Does anybody know if it is possible to remove the first dot and put G and 1 together without a space between? Code below:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}
\setcounter{section}{7}
\setcounter{subsection}{1}
\subsubsection{Hello World} % G.1.1 I want it to be G1.1
\end{document}
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
I really don't know why you want to use the apa6.cls and, most of all, try to change the appearance of the section titles. The class is intended for submissions and not for real typesetting: the format it uses is typographically ugly.
Anyway, here's how you can change the appearance according to your wishes.
\documentclass[ngerman,man,12pt,a4paper,noextraspace,donotrepeattitle]{apa6}
\usepackage[english,ngerman]{babel}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\section}{\@startsection {section}{1}
{\z@}
{\b@level@one@skip}
{\e@level@one@skip}
{\centering\normalfont\normalsize}}
\renewcommand{\subsection}{\@startsection{subsection}{2}
{\z@}
{\b@level@two@skip}
{\e@level@two@skip}
{\centering\normalfont\normalsize\itshape}}
\renewcommand{\subsubsection}{\@startsection{subsubsection}{3}
{\z@}
{0\baselineskip \@plus 0.2ex \@minus 0.2ex}
{-1em}%
{\normalfont\normalsize\itshape}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\title{X}
\author{Y}
\maketitle
\section{Methode}
\subsection{Material}
\subsubsection{Stimulus material}
Some text following.
\end{document}

You have to redefine
\thesubsection, i.e.,
