: Chapter numbering breaks by skipping a title I'm translating a book and the original has the following headers: 1 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.2 1.2 1.3 2 3 3.1.1 My level 3 numbering uses ^1.^2.^# What happens

I'm translating a book and the original has the following headers:

1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.2
1.3

2

3
3.1.1

My level 3 numbering uses ^1.^2.^#
What happens is that, since ther's no 3.1, the numbering starts from the last level 2 title used (1.3), this way:

[omissis]
3
3.4.1

Is there anything I can do save a white-on-white 3.1 (that ruins my automatic summary) or faking it with a dangerous 3.1.^# title style?

I recently found a solution.

What I did was creating a paragraph style that has the same characteristics as my subchapter heading including the numbering. It draws from the same numbering list (chapters), it restarts numbering after every higher heading and it is the same level as the subchapter numbering.
It is paper color, so not to get printed, and it takes 0 space because of its spacing, but the automatic indexing doesn't pick it up because it looks for specific styles and this style I just created, while modifying the chapter numbering progression just like the subchapter heading, is not in the list.
