SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on resetting subsection numbering in LaTeX using the command \renewcommand. The user aims to change the default numbering format from 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 to a simple 1, 2, 3. While the command \renewcommand{\subsection}{\arabic{subsection}} achieves the desired numbering, it inadvertently removes all font settings associated with the \subsection command. The discussion highlights the need for a solution that maintains formatting while altering the numbering style.

This is probably not the best place to ask this, then I think there are ppl that knows here...

I want to reset the subsection numbering so that instead of:
0.1
0.2
0.3...

It goes like
1
2
3

so I did
\renewcommand{\subsection}{\arabic{subsection}}

Which, works, but it also destroy all font setting (bold, etc) of the \subsection command...

How do ppl do renewcommand with subsection?

Cheers

Good luck!
