Page Layout ⇒ Chapters appearing w/o a chapter number

[thedoctor818]

I am compiling a book, and would like to know if there is a way for the chapters to appear in the toc, yet in the text proper can they appear without: "Chapter 1: <title>" like say just <title>??? I do not know if this is possible, but it would be great if so. Or, I probably might not mind if the titles were preceeded by just the numbers 1,2, etc as in the article document class; but then I could not use appendices. Help please.

For standard classes there is a simple solution to add unnumbered chapters to the ToC.

Code: Select all

\chapter*{Chapter Title}
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Chapter Title}

Note that this also affects the behaviour of column titles (headers) in your document. Depending on your setup, these chapters won't appear.

Other document classes like those of the KOMA Script bundle or the memoir class have built-in features to get the desired result.

Thanks Thorsten, that did the trick.
