I'm new to LaTeX, so please bear with me for a bit if the description of my problem seems incoherent :)
I've started to write my thesis using the report
document class, but I've soon found out that it insists on prepending a redundant Chapter n
to any chapter I begin. I've tried to work around this by declaring my chapters as \chapter*{Sneaky chapter}
, but this causes them to be omitted from the TOC.
I've switched to the scrreprt
document class since then, and it does pretty much what I wanted from it regarding the chapter headings, aside from the unsightly sans-serif font it insists on using. So, I've restyled my chapter headings (and sections, and so on and so forth) using the following:
\titleformat{\chapter}
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\thechapter}{1em}{}
Again, this does exactly what it says on the tin, but the headings in the TOC remain in the default sans-serif font.
So, in a nutshell, it would be pretty awesome if the chapter headings were set using the default serif font, and the unneeded Chapter n
gotten rid of. There are no doubt dozens of possible ways to achieve this, I'm sure, but my LaTeX-fu is sadly not up to the task yet.
\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\thechapter}{1em}{}
in combination withreport
document class leaves me with the standard serif font and suppresses theChapter n
headings. This is probably just a side effect, but it seems to work. I'm just posting it here for the sake of completeness, for people who potentially want to use thereport
document class, but I'll personally go with Thorsten's solution.
