I need to produce a PDF document in which I need some "chapters" (along with its sections and subsections) to be non-numbered but still included in the ToC.
This is for my master thesis. I'm using the book document class, because I don't like memoir defaults.
If I use \chapter*, then LaTeX remove the chapter from the ToC. But I'm required to have those as well in the ToC. Furthermore, the headings (fancy) are not changed with \chapter*.
The overall structure of the thesis is:
\maketitle %% A custom one
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\chapter*{Abstract}
\chapter*{Introduction} %% This "chapter" presents the whole thesis
\mainmatter
%% Here the real chapters are written
\appendix
%% Appendixes here
%% bibliography
How can I make \chapter*, \section*, and \subsection* to appear in the ToC and to modify the headers?
I think I may be using some packages that interfere with the way headers and footers are generated. The answer of smilingthax gets the first part of the question responded: I have now my \chapter*s on the TOC.
