@cderv Thank you for the hint to "number_section"!

Hi,

Thanks, are you sure this is the entire sessionInfo()? I think section other attached packages: is missing. You have many loaded namespace but no attached packages.

Also could you post a minimal reproducible example? I only have bits in your original post.

Hi there,
I am struggling with this issue, too.

IMHO It's caused by a combination of "word headline style with numbering" and the auto-numbering feature of officedown.
The latter I could not disable, @davidgohel Is there a boolean to switch it off?
The workaround is to write headlines followed by {-}.
I need a specific style of numbering, auto-numbering only uses the arabic numbers shown in the screenshot of @katerinabc

@katerinabc I guess your pandoc version changed between August 2020 an January 2021, or?

Here is a reproducible example:

---
title: "Test number section"
output:
 bookdown::markdown_document2:
    base_format: officedown::rdocx_document
    toc: true
---

## Header 1

## Header 2

You see this behavior of two numbering in section header because bookdown format gains a working number_sections argument in version 0.21 which default to TRUE.

If you deactivate number_sections in bookdown::markdown_document2, then it won't be passed to the base format rdocx_document, and you will have only one numbering!

---
title: "Test number section"
output:
 bookdown::markdown_document2:
    number_sections: FALSE
    base_format: officedown::rdocx_document
    toc: true
---

## Header 1

## Header 2

@davidgohel if rdocx_document takes care of section numbering, you may want to make sure than number_sections is set to FALSE in rmarkdown::word_document (which is the default, but not in bookdown::word_document2 which markdown_document2(base_format = rmarkdown::word_document).

It is the same if I set number_sections: TRUE in rdocx_document

---
title: "Test number section"
output:
 officedown::rdocx_document:
   number_section: TRUE
---

## Header 1

## Header 2

Hope it helps

I just pushed a fix for this issue. rdocx_document now set number_sections to FALSE when bookdown::markdown_document2 is used to avoid sections numbered twice.
