I'm producing a book, using the memoir
class.
The book has numbered chapters 1-8, but also has a chapter before ("Introduction") and a chapter after ("Conclusion"). These are all in the main matter; I mean there are also other unnumbered chapter-level sections in front- (Acknowledgements) and back-matter (Endnotes and Index).
I thought it would be simple to use \chapter*
for Introduction and Conclusion, and use \chapter
for chapters 1-8. Not so… it seems the numbering part is not the only difference.
Does anyone know of all the differences and what is needed to make them equivalent?
So far I've found:
- chapter titles do not appear in table of contents.
Solution: after\chapter*
, add\addcontentsline
- footnote numbers (pagenote in this case) do not reset to 1.
Solution: ??? - heading text (
\createmark{chapter}...
) not being updated.
Solution: ???
Any other suprpises that I'll find out later ?
Alternative, any other approach to tackle the problem would be welcome.

After reading (and re-reading) the Memoir manual, I've found answers to the specific questions asked (added here for future reference):
\addcontentsline
\refstepcounter
at thechapter
level.\chapter*
Therefore, a rough equivalent to
without numbering is:
I hope no more differences appear...
