Hierarchy and numbering of sections

Question

This is what I'm trying to achieve:

But this is the closest I came so far:

Here goes my code:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}.}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\alph{subsection}.} {\leftskip=2cm}
\renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\roman{subsubsection}.} {\leftskip=3cm}

\begin{document}

\section{Situational Analysis}
\subsection{Company}
\subsubsection{Mission Statement}


\end{document}

The \leftskip=Xcm doesn't do any good. Is there any simple solution? Thanks a lot!

After a quick check I found this was not what I wanted. Thanks. — gamahuri, May 19 '18 at 18:48

As pointed out in this post

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titlespacing*{\subsection}{4em}{1ex}{1em}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsection}{8em}{1ex}{1em}

does the trick. The first measure is the indentation, adjust as required.

The other two measures are vertical spacing above and below the (sub)(sub)section title, respectively. Not sure how to get their default values, though. You might want to adjust them according to your document class.

Didn't notice this earlier. Thanks a lot as well. I'm going for this one. – gamahuri May 19 '18 at 19:05

You can renew the environments as follow:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}  
\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}.}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\alph{subsection}.} 
\renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\roman{subsubsection}.} 


\makeatletter
\renewcommand\subsection{\leftskip 25pt\@startsection{subsection}{2}{\z@}%
                                     {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
                                     {1.5ex \@plus .2ex}%
                                     {\normalfont\large\bfseries}}
\renewcommand\subsubsection{\leftskip 50pt\@startsection{subsubsection}{2}{\z@}%
                                     {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
                                     {1.5ex \@plus .2ex}%
                                     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}  

\section{My section}

Here is a section.

\subsection{My subsection}

Here is a subsection.

\subsubsection{My subsubsection}

Here is a subsubsection.

\end{document}

This code will also indent the text after a section, subsection, etc...

Hope it helps.
