Hi!

I have a problem about my table of contents. I am creating it before acknowledgements. I don't want to give a chapter number to introduction, but I want it to takeplace in table of contents.

\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\acknowledgements
\chapter*{introduction}


moreover, while I am writing introduction, at the top of the page it is written on the line "table of contents" instead of "introduction".


Please help me Thank you very much!

To give a precise answer, a minimum working example is needed, since the solution is highly dependent on the documentclass and packages.

Here is an example using KOMA-script.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\author{mlle-f}
\title{using KOMA and addchap}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
%\acknowledgements
\addchap{Introduction}
\blindtext[7]
\blinddocument
\blinddocument
\blinddocument
\blinddocument
\blinddocument
\end{document}

[mlle-f]

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, french, fancyChapter, fancyPart, squeezeCommittee]{these-LUNAM}
\maketitle
\selectlanguage{english}

\frontmatter
\tableofcontents

\chapter*{Acknowledgements}
.....

\mainmatter
\chapter*{Introduction}
....

Sorry, I am really new in latex. I want table of the contents like in the following:

Introduction............................................. 7
I Résultats algébriques................................. 13
1 Objets de base.........................................15
1.1 Gèbres différentielles graduées . . . . . . . . . . .20

Hi, please follow the link i gave above and carefully read how to prepare a minimum working example. The code boxes have a link included called »Open in writelatex«. You can click it and be sure that we all see the same.

You class is a special one, either using a predefined class or beeing completely independant. I can't tell, i don't have it. Maybe the maintainers of the class could be of more help, since they know best.
Usually infos about the maintainer are stored in the file as comments.
