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

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

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{}).

Itatitl.
