Page Layout

I am preparing some lecture plan/notes. I just want to put \section for each lecture and get that section titled as Lecture 1, Lecture 2 serially. ( Not 0.1 Lecture 1, 0.2 Lecture 2 , etc.) What would be a simple method to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi itatitl,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

Something like this?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand\thesection{Lecture~\arabic{section}}

\usepackage{lipsum}% dummy text
\begin{document}

\section{Basic Stuff}
\lipsum[1]

\section{Advanced Stuff}
\lipsum[2]

\end{document}

Thanks a lot Clemens,
That works perfect. I have the option to remove the lecture titles as well ( with \section{}).
Regards,
Itatitl.
