Removing Numbering from chapters in quarto Book

[shafayetShafee]

Is there any global option to set in book so that all of the chapters are not numbered?

As I am seeing in the docs it can be done by adding {.unnumbered} to each chapter's main heading. But is there any global option to do this without using {.unnumbered} in each case so that all of the chapters of the book will be unnumbered ?? Thanks 😊😊😊

I am not sure there is an option in any of the tools used by Quarto to skip numbering in headers of a specific level.

Although, it's possible to write a Lua filter to remove numbering at a specify level (it will just do automatically what currently has to be done manually).

Would you kindly point me to a direction from where I can learn how to write lua filter and use that with quarto documents. ( I don't have a tiny bit of clue about lua filter) Thanks

Ok found a place for knowing about lua filter.

@shafayetShafee have you try number-sections: false?

The following worked for me

project:
  type: book

book:
  title: "mybook"
  author: "Jane Doe"
  date: "8/18/2021"
  chapters:
    - index.qmd

editor: visual

format:
  html:
    number-sections: false

The issue here is to only remove the numbering at the chapter level, not everywhere.

[shafayetShafee]

Yes, but it removes the section numbering in a chapter too. I have just wanted to remove the number in chapter headings, like Introduction not 1 Introduction.

Bumping this issue back up... @shafayetShafee @mcanouil @rgaiacs ... does anyone know if this issue ever got sorted. And what the workaround is?
