Question
Is there a way in rst to have automatic header numbering ? That is something like:
#. Some Section
===============
...
#. Some Subsection
------------------
...
#. Another Subsection
---------------------
...
#. Another Section
==================
...
that would be rendered as:
1. Some Section
...
1.1 Some Subsection
...
1.2 Another Subsection
...
2. Another Section
...
Solution
According to the docutils manual, you can use the sectnum
directive: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/0.7/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#automatic-section-numbering
So you can add something like this in the very first line(s):
.. sectnum::
