I know chapter* removes a chapter from numbering. How can I remove it also from ToC?
I want to remove c4 but not c3.
First of all, you can change the page counter at any point to the number you want like this:
\setcounter{page}{3} % Set the page counter to 3
following pages will continue from there.
As to starting the numbers from chapter 1, a good practice is to have alphabetical or roman numbering for things before the main text (also called frontmatter; such as table of contents, list of tables and etc.) and switch to normal numbering at the beginning of the main chapters (also called mainmatter). Numbering style can be set with the following command which also resets the page counter to 1:
\pagenumbering{alph} % set the numbering style to lowercase letter
style can be any of these:
Sample code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\pagenumbering{roman} % Start roman numbering
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\pagenumbering{arabic} % Switch to normal numbers
\chapter{First Chapter}
Contents of chapter 1
\end{document}
In the book documents you can also use these commands to achieve the same thing:
\frontmatter % The pages after this command and before the command \mainmatter, will be numbered with lowercase Roman numerals.
\mainmatter % This will restart the page counter and change the style to Arabic numbers
Use \cftchappresnum to add to word Chapter before the chapter number. (note the space after).
Then enlarge the indent of the chapter title in that amount by expanding the number box.
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand{\cftchapfont}{\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{Chapter }% space after Chapter
\newlength{\xtraspace}
\settowidth{\xtraspace}{\cftchappresnum} % extra space = Chapter + space
\addtolength{\cftchapnumwidth}{\xtraspace} % makes the indent of the chapter title larger
\newcommand{\likechapter}[1]{%
\chapter*{#1}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#1}
}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\likechapter{Introduction}
\chapter{Some chapter}
\section{Some section}
\section{Some subsection}
\end{document}

To remove from the ToC all the entries associated with
\chapter*you need to redefine the\chapter@toccommand implemented inmwrep.cls; the following example code includes the necessary redefinition:To remove from the ToC only a particular entry associated with
\chapter*you could 1) use thetocvsec2package:or 2) Use
\addtocontentsto appropriately change the value of thetocdepthcounter:
