General ⇒ Authors name in table of contents

[drsv]

Hi,

I am new to latex. I am editing a book that has many articles (chapters) by different authors. Hence I need the following but am unable to do -
1. To include the name of the author along with the title in table of contents
2. To be able to include author's name also at the beginning of each chapter.
3. To avoid numbering the chapter but to include it in the table of contents.

It will be great if someone can help in this regard.

The following code shows how you may achieve that. Adapt details to your demands.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\parindent0em

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents

  \chapter*{First}
    \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{First -- Author}
    \epigraphhead[48]{\large Author}
    \blindtext
\end{document}

Refer to the manual of the epigraph package to learn how to place the author name on the chapter title page.


Best regards and welcome to the board
