I've got my index file set up like so:
Doc Title
==============================
..toctree::
:maxdepth: 3
:numbered:
:caption: Contents
01_file1
01.3_file2
If the contents are thus...
01_file1.txt:
Level 1 section title
--------------------------------------------
Level 2 section title
............................................
Another Level 2 section title
............................................
and for 01.3_file2.txt:
A third Level 2 section title
............................................
I would expect this because Sphinx treats everything as a single document:
1. Level 1 section title
1.1 Level 2 section title
1.2 Another Level 2 section title
1.3 A third Level 2 section title
But instead I get this:
1. Level 1 section title
1.1 Level 2 section title
1.2 Another Level 2 section title
2. A third Level 2 section title
I'm guessing this is because Sphinx (or maybe reST/Markdown?) restarts implicit heading levels with each new text file. Is there a way to get what I actually want?
Quoting the reST documentation...
Rather than imposing a fixed number and order of section title adornment styles, the order enforced will be the order as encountered. The first style encountered will be an outermost title (like HTML H1), the second style will be a subtitle, the third will be a subsubtitle, and so on.
