How many levels of section can I have?

[Tanichezini]

I am trying to use more than 3 section levels in my document. I changed the maxdepth parameter in the toctree in the index file, but that does not seem to affect the outcome in the PDF version of the document. Do you know how to resolve the issue?

You are talking about the sections listed in the table of contents, I assume? This is controlled by a style sheet option:

[table of contents]
depth = 4

rinohtype ignores the toctree's :maxdepth: option because you might want the table of contents to have a different depth in HTML and PDF output.

This one should probably by added to the FAQ...

Sort of. What is happening is that beyond level 3 the pdf version does not show the numbering before the section titles:

8.1.4 Log Management Data Pane The Log Management Data pane displays the log entries generated by BioSP. Any user with an Admin role can access this pane. The general structure of the pane is described in the Data Pane section. Find below the specifics for this pane. Log Management Data Toolbar <- this is supposed to be a level 4 title and should have 8.1.4.1 before it. The Data Toolbar contains the following functional buttons.

Thank you. Luisa

This is controlled by the number_format style property. It is set to none in the default style sheet for heading level 4 and up. Set this to number in your style sheet to also number these headings:

[STYLESHEET]
name = My Style Sheet
base = sphinx

[heading level 4]
number_format = number

[heading level 5]
number_format = number

Optionally, you can set number_separator to none to hide the prefix ("8.1.4." in your example).
