General ⇒ Title of Chapter NOT to appear

[wuming]

Hi,

I am writing a thesis using a pre'defined
Uni´s class. I use Texmaker on Win.

I seperate thesis into labelled chapters,
and I call/print them from the main thesis file.
Everything works just fine so far except one detail.
I made a seperate chapter for the Dedication single page
and I use the \chapter*{Dedication}
so that the page will not appear numbered.
However, I don´t want the title Dedication to appear on the page.
I am thinking if \nochapter could be of any help,
but still cannot fix that. Any workaround?

I hope the problem is clearly described

Cheers!

Just write your text and omit the structuring command completely. You will need a \newpage command and some vertical space right at the beginning to make your dedication appear properly aligned on a new page.


Best regards

Hi Thorsten,

thanks for your reply.

This obviously works, but
since I want to reduce the
text in main tex file to the
basic commands, I still wonder
if there is any other way.

Cheers!

Please explain to me what you consider as basic commands.

More than you need,
but anyway. Cheers

Code: Select all

\documentclass{hwthesis}  	 % final thesis format without logo
%\documentclass[edit,draft2]{hwthesis} % final thesis format with watermark

\newcommand{\includeFigures} 					{1} 

% pdf setup2
\input{pdfsetup_prep}

%\newcommand{\includeAbstract} 				{1}
...
\newcommand{\includeAppendix}        {1}

\begin{document}

\title{}
\include{tex/chapter_Dedication}

%\renewcommand{\thepage}{Acknowledgements} 
\include{tex/chapter_Acknowledgements}

% declaration statement here

%\cleardoublepage
\tableofcontents

% list of tables,figures and publications

Please use the code environment for LaTeX code in future posts. Nevertheless there is no piece of useful information in your example. I only see a main file with lots of included external files. Reduce the problem to a minimal working example (MWE) that will run on every system.

[wuming]

OK

[drowsy]

You could use \chapter*{}
to ensure that your page numbers follow the guidelines,
and include "Dedications" to TOC manually(if you want it there)

This obviously works, but since I want to reduce the text in main tex file to the basic commands, I still wonder if there is any other way.

Is there a problem in doing what Thorsten suggested in your Dedication chapter file? That way, you are still left with just what you had earlier.

Regards.
