In the past I just used \newcommand{\sectionname}[1]{Task~#1} to make the sections have a different name. Now it seems to have stopped working.

I am using babel with the ngerman option. I have already tried \addto\captionsngerman and am now trying with KOMA.

My MWE:

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{ucs} % Unicode
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} % "utf8x" benutzt "ucs"-Paket, besser als "UTF8"
\usepackage{lmodern} % für Schriftart mit Umlauten
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\renewcommand{\thepart}{\arabic{part}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\alph{subsection}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\roman{subsubsection}}

\newcaptionname{ngerman}{\sectionname}{Task~\thesection}
\newcaptionname{ngerman}{\subsectionname}{\thesubsection)}
\newcaptionname{ngerman}{\subsubsectionname}{\thesubsubsection)}

\begin{document}
    \section{}
    \subsection{}
    \subsubsection{}
\end{document}

I want the sections to just say "Task 1, Task 2, ...", the subsections "a), b), ..." and the subsubsections to say "i), ii), iii), iv), ...".

I have the feeling I am missing something simple here.

Thanks for your time!

  • I am not completely familiar with scrartcl etc. but I don't think captionname is what you want to change. You have to change the counter output rather –  Nov 24 '15 at 13:36
  • You may find this TeX.SX post useful, though it doesn't directly answer your question. – Arun Debray Nov 24 '15 at 14:15
  • There are packages dedicated for exam sheets, like exsheets. The fact that you can do \newcaptionname tells you that it isn't defined before, so it isn't used anywhere. If you don't want to use a dedicated package, you could declare a new sectioning command just for the task and subtasks instead of using sections/subsections. – Johannes_B Nov 24 '15 at 14:27
  • Going through source code, I can't find anything that uses \sectionname. The only times it shows up are \let\sectionname=@empty and \let\sectionname=\appendixname. You might try \renewcommand{\thesection}{Task~\arabic{section} – John Kormylo Nov 24 '15 at 14:43
