I'd suggest digging around for macro sets people created for
various schools' thesis and dissertation formats. I expect
several of us have done that and have included auto numbering
of chapters, sections, equations, tables, figures, etc. If
I look hard enough, I might even be able to find the ones I
did 20 some-odd years ago for my master's thesis, but I'm
pretty sure I won't get able to get to it until at least this
weekend.
