[texhax] Place introduction into TOC without adding a chapter number

[Lars Madsen]

why don't you just move it into the frontmatter part and in there use \chapter without the star, then the number is suppressed and it will appear in the ToC.

Subject: [texhax] Place introduction into TOC without adding a chapter number

Hello,
I started writing a book with latex and wanted to include the
introduction in the TOC without giving it a chapter heading and number.
The current code looks much like this:

\documentclass[12pt,letter,draft]{book}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\title{Foo book}
\author{me}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\mainmatter
\chapter*{Introduction}
Hello World!

\end{document}


Thanks, David
