Latex \subsubsection is ignored

[DBQ]

For some reason \subsubsection fails to give heading a section number, although it is treated like a heading. \section, and \subsection work as they should. Any idea why?

[shifty2]

its fine with me:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[UKenglish]{babel}
\title{}


\begin{document}
\maketitle
\subsubsection{hello}
\end{document}

edit:
you may have a * in there? ie \subsubsection*{} that prevents the numbers from appearing

[DBQ]

Your example works - I think it has to do with many strange packages I am using.

Your document class or some package probably sets secnumdepth to 2.

hmmm.. maybe one of the ways to solve that is to paste your work in a working template.

one i can suggest is use the document class IEEEtrans.cls (of course, download and save it in your working dir first).

\documentclass[journal]{./IEEEtran}

or just add

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
to your main document!

you may be using report on your docmentclass:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{report}
and not:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
with article it works but with report it doesn't if you don't add
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
to your main document

I had to run "pdflatex <filename.tex>" in the terminal twice before the table of contents is updated. Try that and see if it works.

Also check to see if you need to change the value of tocdepth, which controls how far down the tree the ToC goes.
