Text Formatting ⇒ Chapter Heading without Prefix

[sonnythe]

Hi,

is there a way to make LaTeX not print out the word "Chapter n" in the document class and only the argument for chapter?

For instance \chapter{Foo} comes out "Foo".

Thanks in advance, btw I have already searched the forum but could not find anything.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

It depends on the document class. For example, the KOMA-Script classes do this by default. So you could solve it by switching from report to scrreprt or from book to scrbook. The KOMA-Script classes have further advantages.

Or, if you would like to use standard classes, you could use the titlesec package for customizing the chapter headings. With titlesec, use a hang style, which is like section headings, instead of a display style, which is the original style in standard classes.
