how do I adjust the default equation, figure and table numbering behaviour in LaTeX? f.e. Eq. 1.2 vs Eq. 1.2.1 Please include simple examples.

[james]

for equation numbering:

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{equation}{section}

change 'section' to 'subsection' to go from e.g. 1.1, 1.2 to 1.3.1, 1.3.2 etc.
i think you can also use

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{figure}{section}
\numberwithin{table}{chapter}


etc.
Just put these lines at the top of the latex document.
