I am using this suggestion How to add an extra level of sections with headings below \subsubsection to use more level of sections and I would like to control the font colour as well.

I tried this so far

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

%\usepackage[utf8]{inputnc}


\usepackage{xcolor}


\usepackage{sectsty}


\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{hyperref}


\titleclass{\subsubsubsection}{straight}[\subsection]


\newcounter{subsubsubsection}[subsubsection]
\renewcommand\thesubsubsubsection{\thesubsubsection.\arabic{subsubsubsection}}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{\thesubsubsubsection.\arabic{paragraph}} % optional; useful if paragraphs are to be numbered


\titleformat{\subsubsubsection}
  {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsubsubsection}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsubsection}
{0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}


\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{@startsection{paragraph}{5}{\z@}%
  {3.25ex @plus1ex @minus.2ex}%
  {-1em}%
  {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\renewcommand\subparagraph{@startsection{subparagraph}{6}{\parindent}%
  {3.25ex @plus1ex @minus .2ex}%
  {-1em}%
  {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\def\toclevel@subsubsubsection{4}
\def\toclevel@paragraph{5}
\def\toclevel@paragraph{6}
\def\l@subsubsubsection{@dottedtocline{4}{7em}{4em}}
\def\l@paragraph{@dottedtocline{5}{10em}{5em}}
\def\l@subparagraph{@dottedtocline{6}{14em}{6em}}
\makeatother


\sectionfont{\color{blue}}
\subsectionfont{\color{orange!90!black}}
\subsubsectionfont{\color{orange!70!white}}
\subsubsubsectionfont{\color{orange!50!white}}


\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}


\title{test}


\begin{document}


\maketitle


\tableofcontents


\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Introduction}
\subsubsection{Introduction}
\subsubsubsection{Introduction}


\end{document}

  • there are already two levels of section below subsubsection do you really need another, so 6 levels in all 1.1.1.1.1.1 section ? There is no answer to th quesion in the title, a class can define as many levels as it wans but few auhors ever need more than the 5 levels offered by article or 6 levels offered by report class. – David Carlisle May 01 '22 at 22:27
  • Actually I would like to know how to control the colour fonts. – unmark1 May 01 '22 at 22:29
  • The definition of (say) \paragraph in article.cls is, in total \newcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}% {3.25ex \@plus1ex \@minus.2ex}% {-1em}% {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}} just add \color{red} alongside \bfseries and it will be red, there is nothing special needed – David Carlisle May 01 '22 at 22:32
  • Thank you, it worked. May you explain why this \subsubsubsectionfont{\color{orange!50!white}} does not work, please? – unmark1 May 01 '22 at 22:40
  • there is no \subsubsubsection command by default (the level after \subsubsection is called \paragraph so naturally unless you define it, there is no \subsubsubsectionfont command either. – David Carlisle May 01 '22 at 23:07
  • Fair enough! Thx!!! – unmark1 May 01 '22 at 23:14
