I've a big problem with LaTeX, because I can't delete margin before new chapter
I've tried everything but I am rather new and I didn't manage. My code:

Methods with titlesec package give me bunch of errors. I'm using overleaf.
changing
\documentclass[polish,12pt,oneside]{mwbk}
to
\documentclass[polish,12pt,oneside]{book}
helps, but destroy another styling (like enum list etc.)
The class you use, defines the chapter format with
\SetSectionFormatting[breakbefore,wholewidth]{chapter}
{0\p#}
{\FormatRigidChapterHeading{6.4\baselineskip}{12\p#}%
{\large\#chapapp\space}{\LARGE}}
{1.6\baselineskip}
If you play around with the value for 6.4, you can adjust the space above the chapter heading.

I'm trying to remove the space in LoF between different chapters. i have tried different solutions(patching it as well) but it is not working. I have attached the codes below for your reference. Any help or pointers to resolve it would be highly appreciated.
Edit: Link to a minimal working project file depicting the error.

You could remove the spaces between the list entries of different chapters if you make the patches before you load hyperref:
\documentclass[twoside, 12pt]{report}
% use to customize chapter headings of toc lof lot
\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand{\cfttoctitlefont}{\hspace*{\fill}\Large\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftaftertoctitle}{\hspace*{\fill}}
\renewcommand{\cftlottitlefont}{\hspace*{\fill}\Large\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftafterlottitle}{\hspace*{\fill}}
\renewcommand{\cftloftitlefont}{\hspace*{\fill}\Large\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cftafterloftitle}{\hspace*{\fill}}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\#chapter}{\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10\p#}}}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\#chapter}{\addtocontents{lot}{\protect\addvspace{10\p#}}}{}{}{}
\makeatother
% load hyperref after these patches
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\listoffigures
\chapter{test}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\caption{heading}
\end{figure}
\chapter{test}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\caption{heading}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
So I have the following document:
\include{preamble}
\title{test title}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{equation*}
\begin{aligned}
\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\dots}}}}}
\end{aligned}
\end{equation*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
the contents of my preamble.tex file is:

For some reason the title just will not be included on the pdf when I compile the code, I am sure I have \title{} and \maketitle in the correct positions. Any help as to why this is would be much appreciated.
Move the title after \begin{document}:
\documentclass{revtex4}
\begin{document}
\title{test title}
\maketitle
\end{document}
(don't do this with other documentclasses. Most of the time it is better to have the \title in the preamble, e.g. to get sensible pdf meta data if combined with hyperref)
I trying add some space before TOC , I used \vspace but it doesn't work
\documentclass[12pt, french,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
%...
\vspace*{.3\paperheight} %doesn't work
\tableofcontents
%...
\chapter{chapitre}
\section{section}
\subsection{subsection}
\newpage
\chapter{chapitre}
\section{section}
\subsection{subsection}
\end{document}
somebody have solution ?
The toc will automatically start a new chapter on a new page. If you use \vspace before it, this will still be on the previous page and not have any effect on your toc. However, you can change the definition of the toc and add some space there:
\documentclass[12pt, french,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
\if#twocolumn
\#restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
\#restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\vspace{5cm}\contentsname
\#mkboth{%
\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
\#starttoc{toc}%
\if#restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
%...
\tableofcontents
%...
\chapter{chapitre}
\section{section}
\subsection{subsection}
\newpage
\chapter{chapitre}
\section{section}
\subsection{subsection}
\end{document}
I am writing my thesis in Latex, document class: report. I have got front matter containing of abstract, acknowledgement and so on.
I want to add header only to my main matter which starts with my first chapter:Introduction. I want the header to be the chapter number without the word "chapter" and the chapter title next to it. I also want the page number to appear in the centre on the bottom of the page in all pages of the main matter.
I don't want any header or line in any page of my front matter.
Can you please guide me? Thanks
Here it is the sample code that I am applying.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,titlepage]{report}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{colordvi}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{theorem}
\usepackage{lineno}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage [toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\usepackage[left=1.5in,top=2in,right=1in,bottom=2in]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\title{xxx}
\author{xxx}
\date{xxx}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}
% here it comes my front matter for example:
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\chapter*{Abstract}
ABSTRACT CONTENTS
%then:
\clearpage
\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
% here it starts my main matter:
\chapter{Introduction} %first chapter
\chapter{First Esssay in XXX} %second chapter
\end{document}
You have a number of options to set headers in a document. The most frequently-used package is fancyhdr.
First of all, you need to remove the word Chapter from the regular chapter mark. For this, add
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
%\newcommand{\updatechaptermark}{%
\appto\ps#fancy{%
\patchcmd{\chaptermark}% <cmd>
{\#chapapp\ }{}% <search><replace>
{}{}% <success><failure>
}%}
\makeatother
to your preamble. The above strips out \#chapapp\ (note the space) from \chaptermark as part of the call to \pagestyle{fancy}. That's required as fancyhdr may update \chaptermark upon calling \pagestyle{fancy}.
Second, you need to set the headers/footers. Here's a setting that yields what you're after:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}% Clear header/footer
\fancyhead[C]{\leftmark}% Chapter mark
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}% Footer contains the page number
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{.4pt}% Header rule width
The above sets the header as \leftmark, which contains the \chaptermark setting (since \chaptermark actually issues \markboth{<leftmark>}{<rightmark>} with an empty <rightmark>).
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,lipsum}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
%\newcommand{\updatechaptermark}{%
\appto\ps#fancy{%
\patchcmd{\chaptermark}% <cmd>
{\#chapapp\ }{}% <search><replace>
{}{}% <success><failure>
}%}
\makeatother
\fancyhf{}% Clear header/footer
\fancyhead[C]{\leftmark}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{.4pt}
\begin{document}
%\frontmatter
\pagenumbering{roman}
\title{xxx}
\author{xxx}
\date{xxx}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
% here it comes my front matter for example:
\cleardoublepage
\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}%
\chapter*{Abstract} \lipsum[1]
\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\chapter{Introduction} \lipsum[1-50] % first chapter
\chapter{Methodology} \lipsum[1-50] % second chapter
\chapter{Conclusion} \lipsum[1-50] % last chapter
\end{document}
Note that \chapters are set by default using the plain style. If you wish this to be different, you'll have to redefine the plain page style.
You can achieve the same output using a different header/footer package like titleps.
I'm new to LateX but I'm starting to get a hang of it but I have some problems.. I would like to have section number in my header but I don't know how to do it. I'm using the fancy package and writing in article class. I have seen some solutions to make this work in Book settings but I like the article class better.
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
