hi,

I need to place a 'dot' in front of every section and subsection head number, for example, section '2.3' must be displayed as section '2.3.'

How can I add this dot?

In MKII or MKIV? In MKII you can do the following:

\setuphead [section] [numbercommand=\mynumberwithcomma] \def\mynumberwithcomma#1{#1.}

MKIV has a finer control over sectioning, so you should better use that solution (but I don't know it by heart).

Great this works! :) I need as well an appended dot in front of every figure and table number, i.e 'Figure 2.3.' instead of 'Figure 2.3' How can I append the dot? Thanks! -- ana
