Dear gang, I'm having trouble with a special heading. I have written a treatise where everything is numbered in sections, subsections, etc. I need an introductory section-like command, say, \definehead [introduction][section] where 1. "Introduction" is marked in the table of contents without a number, and 2. absolutely nothing is marked in the main text; 3. the first section is still marked as `1' in the main text and the TOC. Another possibility I'm considering: 1. "Introduction" is marked in the table of contents without a number, and 2. "Introduction" is marked centered in the main text without a number; 3. the first section is still marked as `1' in the main text and the TOC.
