Chapter headings without the word chapter!
Hello, I have toyed around with trying to remove the words "Chapter 1", etc. from the chapter's first page. I know the use of * will remove them, but unfortunately this removes them from the table of contents as well. Is there a way to get rid of the words "Chapter 1" from the first page of the chapter but without affecting the table of contents?

Chapter headings without the word chapter!
To supress only the word chapter, add this in the preamble:
If you also want to supress the numbering then add
Code: Select all
\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}
Code: Select all
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
Re: Chapter headings without the word chapter!
Because it's also about chapter headings I'll just put it here:
How can I get a "Chapter 0"?
Something like:
Chapter 0: Introduction
Chapter 1: Bla
Chapter 2: Blabla
How can I get a "Chapter 0"?
Something like:
Chapter 0: Introduction
Chapter 1: Bla
Chapter 2: Blabla

Add in the preamble

Re: Chapter headings without the word chapter!
OK...here's a tough one:
How do you remove the word "Chapter" from the table of contents without modifying the body of the document.
For Example:
TOC:
1 Preliminaries.................3
2 Exciting News...............7
Body:
Chapter 1 Preliminaries
Chapter 2 Exciting News

Chapter headings without the word chapter!
I guess it helps to mention I'm working within the confines of a mathematical thesis and a template provided by my department???
From the previous post, I take it to mean by default it's not to automatically have the word Chapter in the table of contents but is something added in by the thesis template????
P.S. They are here:

Yes, the default behaviour for the standard book and report document classes is the one obtained with the code in my previous response.
I do not understand that question.kdmckale wrote: ... but is something added in by the thesis template????

There are two document classes in that link. I used the file ttuthes.cls and did a test with the following code (I attached the pdf I obtained):
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{ttuthes}\begin{document}\tableofcontents\chapter{Dummy chapter one}\section{Dummy section}\chapter{Dummy chapter two}\section{Dummy section}\end{document}

Re: Chapter headings without the word chapter!
Hi,
I managed to remove the chapter word and number from my file with the commands you gave :
\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{}
But I would like to create titles manually for each of my chapter. So is it possible to remove also the name of the chapter (for example "Introduction") at the beginning of it, but with keeping the name of the chapter written in small at the top of the other pages of the chapter, as well as the number of the chapter (that has disappeared because I used the command above) ?
Thank you very much for your help !
