I was wondering how I can 'split' up a latex document into 'volumes'. The final TOC should read something like this:
Volume 1 2
1. chapter 1 of volume 1 3
2. chapter 2 of volume 2 15
Volume 2 35
1. chapter 1 of volume 2 36
2. chapter 2 of volume 2 40
the following code gives me the correct chapter numbering, but unfortunately the parts get numbered too
\documentclass[openright]{scrreprt}
% enforces that chapter numbering restarts after each 'part'
\makeatletter\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}\makeatother%
\usepackage{lipsum}% for dummy text
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\part{Volume 1}
\chapter{chapter 1 of volume 1}
\lipsum[1-10]
\chapter{chapter 2 of volume 1}
\lipsum[1-10]
% volume 2 starts with its own chapter numbering
\part{Volume 2}
\chapter{chapter 1 of volume 2}
\lipsum[1-10]
\chapter{chapter 2 of volume 2}
\lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}
this is the result:
I. Volume 1 2
1. chapter 1 of volume 1 3
2. chapter 2 of volume 2 15
II. Volume 2 35
1. chapter 1 of volume 2 36
2. chapter 2 of volume 2 40
Questions:
- How do I get rid of the 'I.' and 'II.' in the TOC?
- Each part page now reads "part I. Volume 1" - how can I get rid of the "part I"?
- is there a way to customize the look of the part page? For each part I would like to put a few lines of text below
EDIT:
Quick and dirty solution to question #1:
\documentclass[openright]{scrreprt}
% enforces that chapter numbering restarts after each 'part'
\makeatletter\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}\makeatother%
\renewcommand\partname{Volume}
\usepackage{lipsum}% for dummy text
% show chapter & section in TOC, no subsection
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
% don't add Volume 1 to TOC
\part*{this is volume 1}
% add manual entry for volume 1
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{this is volume 1}
\chapter{chapter 1 of volume 1}
\lipsum[1-10]
\section{sdfg}
\end{document}
\part*
won't reset thechapter
counter.
