Section*{} and table of contents

Question

When using \section*{XXXXXX} it won't show in the table of contents. Is there any way to show this section without a number in the toc?

Answer 1

Try

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section*{XXXXXX}
\addtocontents{toc}{XXXXXX}

\end{document}
