I am writing a Master thesis using MastersDoctoralthesis template. My thesis will not contain Chapters, but only sections and subsections.I simply ignored Include chapter in the main.tex file, but now the numbers of sections are preceeded by 0. For example, 0.1 Introduction, 0.2 Literature review, whereas I would like not to have the preceding 0 and only have 1 Introduction, 2 Literature review And so on... The same preceding 0 s appear on the table of content.
Please, How can I get rid of them?
Page Layout ⇒ How to get rid of "0" preceding my sections numbers?
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

Re: How to get rid of "0" preceding my sections numbers?
Welcome, you are supposed to using chapters, why aren't you doing it? All the lists use chapters, you wil get a very inconsistent document.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hi Doul,
welcome to the forum!
The whole template is based on chapters, this includes design decisions and counters as you noticed.
If you don't like a chapter based template, use a template with a section structure.
Why don't you use chapters? Is it just because of the size of the headings, or opening at the right hand side, or why?
