In my thesis work, I need to add zero chapters in table of content like table of content itself with page number, Abstract, acknowledgement, notation and introduction, but by using \tableofcontents I got only the chapters in content list those have chapter numbers. so need suggestions for this issue thanks

    Please prepare a minimal working example (MWE) that shows how you currently creaate your unnumbered chapters. – leandriis Jun 27 '20 at 12:53

    Unnumbered chapters, sections, and so on, are not included in the toc by default. Use \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgrment} right after \chapter*{Acknowledgement}, &c. – Bernard Jun 27 '20 at 13:23

    @Bernard Could you give an answer based on your comment? I would have answered with that information if you hadn't commented first. An answer might help someone to not ask a similar question again. – Peter Wilson Jun 28 '20 at 17:24
  • @PeterWilson: You're right. I've added some words about how to do that automatically with titlesec. I don't know memoir well enough to know how it can be done, but feel free to add an explanation for memoir users. – Bernard Jun 28 '20 at 19:16

Unnumbered chapters, sections, and so on, are not included in the toc by default. If you want to add them to toc for a given level, use \addcontentsline{toc}{<level>}{<title>} right after the element where you want it. So, e.g. for a chapter:

% The unnumbered chapter
\chapter*{chaptertitle}

% The command to manually add the content entry in toc
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{chaptertitle}

If you customise the layout of section titles via the titlesec package, this inclusion can be automatic with the numberless key and the explicit option, inserting a similar code in titleformat along this line:

\titleformat{name=\chapter, numberless}{...}{...}{...}{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#1} ...}
