How can I get my sections and subsections headings to go along the lines of: 1i, 1ii, 1iii, 2i, 2ii etc...

  • This can be done using \renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\arabic{section}\roman{subsection}} but the output isn't very nice. –  Apr 20 '15 at 14:24
  • How should subsubsections be numbered? –  Apr 20 '15 at 14:28

All LaTeX counters automatically define a counter format routine, named \the..., e.g. if the counter is named foo, than there is \thefoo. This defaults to \arabic{foo}, i.e. arabic numbers, unless a driver counter was given too. 

\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\arabic{section}\roman{subsection}}

will use the arabic format of section and the roman format output of `subsection. It will output the subsections as requested, but it does not look very nice. 

\documentclass{article}


\usepackage{blindtext}

\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\arabic{section}\roman{subsection}}
\begin{document}
\blinddocument

\end{document}
