Chapter Headings

Post by jediwhelan »

Hello,

I'm writing up some notes and am compiling my document in report format. I would like to suppress the chapter headings,

i.e. Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 etc...

leaving just the chapter title,

i.e. Lecture 1, Lecture 2, Lecture 3 etc...

I can do this using

\chapter*{Lecture1}

But then I dont get a table of contents? Can any of you wonderful latexers help me?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

You can add your lectures with one simple line to the ToC.

Code: Select all

\chapter*{Lecture 1}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Lecture 1}
Sections are added analogous.


Best regards
