Chapters without the "chapter" text in content [closed]

Question

Is there any way to use chapters without the Chapter 1 etc listings? I want only the chapter name to appear not the number.

Answer 1

Have you tried \chapter*{here your chapter}?

Remember: If you use it and want to build a tableofcontents for each sectioning a addcontentsline should be added. See this page

Cheers

Answer 2

If you are using one of the standard classes (book, report) you can use the titlesec package and say something like

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{10pt}{40pt}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test Numbered Chapter}
\chapter*{Test Unnumbered Chapter}

\end{document}

The code above doesn't remove the numbers for entries in the ToC; to remove these numbers, add to the preamble

\usepackage{titletoc}

\titlecontents{chapter}[0em]{\bfseries}{}{}
   {\hfill\contentspage}
