Changing the table of content to section based

Post by templateuser »

Hi,
Thanks for the wonderful template.

I hope you can help me out with a small issue.
Currently i notice that the numbering of sections/chapters are based on chapter->section->subsection hierarchy. However, i would like to change it to a section base (removing chapter as i will not be using that).

Currently, if i use section without chapter, it will appear as ( 0.1 Introduction ). Instead of ( 1. Introduction ).

Will appreciate if you can point me to how to fix this.

Thanks!

Hey,

Just add this to your preamble in main.tex:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\thesection{\arabic{section}}
Note that the page headers will be wrong after that so you will need to make them show the section of the page rather than the chapter.
