Text Formatting ⇒ Error message from "\addcontentsline" command

[insinoori]

My code,

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[ascii]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\begin{document}

\title{Literature Review}
\author{Riku Raisanen}
\maketitle

\newpage
\tableofcontents
\newpage

\part*{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{part*}{Introduction}
text

\part{1}
text

\end{document}

is giving me the error message,
"Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. \contentsline {part}{I\hspace {1em}1}{3}"
for line 2 when I LaTex it more than once. I'm guessing it's a conflict between the ToC and the "\addcontentsline" command.
Thanks

Use part instead of part* with \addcontentsline:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Introduction}

I would like to keep the "Introduction" heading without a number.

I don't think that you tested Stefan's proposal. Otherwise you wouldn't say this. It works as desired.

You're right, sorry, it does work. Thank you very much.
