Why don't you want to load additional packages?

With enumitem loaded, it's this:


\begin{enumerate}[label={[\arabic*]}]
\item One
\item Two
\end{enumerate}


If you don't want to load enumitem, probably you'd need to say what document class you were using -- and it wouldn't be "simple".
That ...

Hey all,

I'm using the following code to add brackets in an enumerated list:
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{[\arabic{enumi}]}

The result is this:
[1]. Stuff
[2]. Stuff
Is there a simple way to remove the periods ideally (but not necessarily) without resorting to additional packages? I want this:
[1 ...

There are two possible solutions by using the caption package.

Use the \caption* command. This will result in a caption without a label thus without number.
Switch off the entry for a certain figure or table.
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\captionsetup{list=no}
\centering
\rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm ...

you can use an empty optional argument for the \caption command:

Code: Select all

\caption[]{the text of the caption.}

Hi,

Unfortunately, doing that simply results in entries with empty captions in the List of Figures, but they're still there. :\

Thanks

Hey all,

Is it possible to create figures intentionally not in the List of Figures, such as the * environments for sections, subsections, etc? How does one go about doing this? Same question for tables. I still want to have captions.

Thanks

Those depend on \chapter* (the starred version), so you will also have to do some changes to the \@makeschapterhead internal command. Perfect, got it. Thanks.

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@makeschapterhead}[1]{%
%\vspace*{0 pt}%
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \raggedright \normalfont

Hey guys,

I use the following code to make the padding above Chapter headings match the padding around the rest of the text, so that there's approximately a 1 inch border around the whole document:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{%
%\vspace*{0 pt}%
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt ...

Please, see this old thread about the same question. Thanks!

For anyone who stumbles upon this thread again in the future, the code I used for my report class document was this in the preamble:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{%
\vspace*{50 pt}%
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt ...

Hi,

I'm a total LaTeX noob and I've been searching forever for how to do this. Is there a simple way of doing this without resorting to a completely different doctype? I'm trying to make the chapter format be like this:

# Chaptertitle

For example,

1 Introduction

as it is in the ToC. I've ...
