Increasing nesting in sub headings with LaTeX

Question

The following is an example of what I currently have: ``` \setcounter{secnumdepth}{3} \chapter{The Chapter} \section{First Section} \subsection{First sub Section} \subsubsection{First sub sub Section} ``` which renders something like this: ``` Chapter 1 The Chapter 1.1 First Section 1.1.1 First Sub Section 1.1.1.1 First sub sub Section ``` Now unfortunately in LaTeX, I can only go down to a `subsubsection` (`1.1.1.1`) but I need to be able to go down further...for example, something like this `1.1.2.1.3`. Are there any commands that will allow me to do this?

Accepted Answer

Try this:

```
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
```

Then you can get two more levels by using `\paragraph` and `\subparagraph`. For even more levels you need to extend standard LaTeX's sectioning mechanism. It's not actually difficult, just tedious to do.
