I am new to latex and I wrote the below tex code on Texmaker editor.
What I want to do is to add the "University" section without any numbering preceeding it and to be centered horizontally, because when I run the code I find that the word "University" is displayed but it is preceeded by a number and I do not want to display any number preceeding that word.
code :
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{kpfonts}
\author{Anan}
\pagestyle{plain}
\begin{document}
\section{University}
\end{document}
\section*{\centering University}
% * removes numbering for _this_ \section instance,
% \centering within environment centres the title.
Note however, that this is a local solution, and that it's better practice (and easier for you to make later document-global changes) to re-define the \\section
, \\subsection
, ... environments using the titlesec
package, as is described well in Alan Munn:s answer in the following tex.stackexchange thread:
All you have to do is to edit your line 9:
\section{University}
this way:
\section*{\centering University}
since the command \\section*
produces unnumbered sections.
Further, if you want to to include an unnumbered section to your table of contents, you can add
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{University}
(this time without \\centering
) just after. The resulting code:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{kpfonts}
\author{Anan}
\pagestyle{plain}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section*{\centering University}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{University}
Text.
\end{document}
