[Tex/LaTex] Chapters without the “chapter” text in content

chapterssectioning

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

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

For the standard classes (article, report, book) you can use the starred version of \chapter which suppresses the number but also the TOC entry, so you hav to add it manually with \addcontentsline

\documentclass{report}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter*{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction}  
\chapter{Chapter 1}  
\chapter{Chapter 2} 
\end{document}

or with KOMA-Script (scrartcl,scrreprt,scrbook) which provides \addchap for this case (and \addsec of sections):

\documentclass{scrreprt}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\addchap{Introduction}
\chapter{Chapter 1}  
\chapter{Chapter 2} 
\end{document}

I don’t know about memoire’s behavior when using \chapter

The \chapter command internally uses \cleardoublepage and \clearpage to add page breaks. Use the etoolbox package to selectively change the definition of \chapter.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\chapter}{\if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi}{}{}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\chapter{foo}

Some text.

\chapter{bar}

Some text.

\end{document}

Note: This etoolbox hack also works for the report class.

For KOMA-Script scrbook from version 3.19a (and most likely for other KOMA-Script classes, too), you need to patch \scr@startchapter instead of chapter:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\scr@startchapter}{\if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi}{}{}{}
\makeatother
