    Do you really need more than 7 levels? We already have \part \chapter \section \subsection \subsubsection \paragraph and \subparagraph, after all. – Ingmar Jul 06 '22 at 18:39

    Having too deeply nested sections is not a good practice and it is a sign of bad design. You should consider to flatten the hierarchy. – Display Name Jul 06 '22 at 18:39
  • Thank you for your reply. Yes, but what is an alternative option? – Shino Mathews Jul 06 '22 at 18:42
  • I thought this was obvious: structure your content in a way that makes do with fewer levels. But if you must: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/60209/how-to-add-an-extra-level-of-sections-with-headings-below-subsubsection – Ingmar Jul 06 '22 at 18:45
  • I tried this to get upto 5 levels, but i need upto 6 levels. – Shino Mathews Jul 06 '22 at 18:47
  • latex has 7 levels by default – David Carlisle Jul 06 '22 at 21:28

LaTeX standard classes support 7 levels of sectioning: \part, \chapter, \section, \subsection, \subsubsection, \paragraph, and \subparagraph. To make use of them as numbered sections you will need to set secnumdepth appropriately, and possibly use titlesec to customize their appearance.

If you really need to go beyond 7 levels, you may want to look at Section 3.9 of the titlesec user manual; the package offers fairly convenient commands for creating additional sectioning levels, including inserting new ones between existing ones (so you can add a \subsubsubsection and a \subsubparagraph if you want to get to 9 levels.)
