General ⇒ Disable chapter numbering

[x42bn6]

Hi all,

How would I go about removing chapter numbering in a book document class?

i.e.

Code: Select all

\chapter{Foo}
\section{Bar}
\subsection{Baz}
\subsection{Qux}

Would give Baz section number 1.1.1. and Qux section number 1.1.2. How would I get it to display as 1.1. and 1.2. respectively?

You could use the chngcntr package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{book}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{section}{chapter}
\begin{document}
\chapter*{Foo}
\section{Bar}
\subsection{Baz}
\subsection{Qux}
\end{document}
