Definitely sounds like there is an underlying problem that rkomar caught.
extarticle is really for extending the
article class. This class is good if you are typing up a school/scientific paper.
What you want is to work from
book class as a base.
If you are working on creating a book, these are the three popular LaTeX classes that are used:
- book
- This just gives you all the basic functionality for making a book (Parts/Chapters, TOCs, Title Page, Appendices, Indexes, etc. etc.).
- If you want to do more advanced things you will have to read up and learn how to tweak individual components and/or include more packages. For example, enumitem might help you easily create more complicated lists.
- KOMA-Script
- This introduces a lot of easily configurable tweaks (use whatever font sizes, look of footnotes/headers/footers, [...]) + bundles more typical bookmaking functionality (side notes, [...]).
- Documentation: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/koma-script?lang=en
- Note: The German documentation is supposedly exceptional. I don't read German though, so I have to settle on the English documentation/discussion. I haven't had any problems figuring things out, and have used this in most of my book projects.
- memoir
