The publisher requires that I have captions and references of resp. to figures that include the chapter number. So in chapter 27 it has to be figure 27.1, 27.2, ... in the captions. \refhas to be adapted as well. How can this be done?

Yes, I saw this, but I am writing an article and want to pretend that I am chapter 27 in a book. Do I have to turn my paper into a book and claim I am in chapter 27? – Stefan Müller Jul 03 '13 at 13:19

Try \renewcommand*{\thefigure}{27.\arabic{figure}. – lockstep Jul 03 '13 at 13:23
What you want is the "per section" of the linked question, then. – T. Verron Jul 03 '13 at 13:29
Just to know: are you working on something that will become a chapter of a book? – karlkoeller Jul 03 '13 at 13:32
