Text Formatting ⇒ Ignoring one section in TOC

[Yeats]

Hi,
I need LaTeX to ignore my first section in toc. Anyone knows command to do that?

Let me explain: My first section is Introduction. After that comes the First Chapter

It all looks like this:

Code: Select all

1 Introduction
2 First Chapter Name
3 Second Chapter Name
4 Third Chapter Name
Literature

I would like to get toc to look like this:

Code: Select all

Introduction
1 First Chapter Name
2 Second Chapter Name
3 Third Chapter Name
Literature

What i tried for now is to add \setcounter{section}{-1} before Introduction which produce this:

Code: Select all

0 Introduction
1 First Chapter Name
2 Second Chapter Name
3 Third Chapter Name
Literature

Is there anyway to tell LaTeX to ignore one section in toc?

Nothing easier like this.

Code: Select all

\chapter*{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction}

This is for standard classes. Other classes may have built-in features.


Best regards
