Tag a chapter title as an unnumbered chapter

[vkbo]

The Issue

Currently, a chapter title must be in a file with layout "Unnumbered" for the chapter counter to be skipped. This removes the flexibility of writing a draft of a novel in a single file, or a set of files not split by chapter. The only title layout feature affected in this way is the the unnumbered chapter.

Proposed Solution

It should be possible to tag a chapter title heading as an unnumbered title heading as an additional alternative to the file layout option. In LaTeX, the * modifies a chapter or section to not be assigned a number. A similar approach here could be one of the following two options:

1. ##* Chapter Tile where the * is added to the ##.
2. ## *Chapter Title where the * is the first character of the title itself.

I prefer the latter option as it seems cleaner, and the * don't need to be parsed in most cases like by the syntax highlighter and document viewer (although maybe the viewer should filter it out), just picked up by the header generator in the Build Novel Project tool.

Since this is an alternative and entirely optional way to mark a chapter title as unnumbered, it doesn't really add complication, just another layer of customisability.

The first solution is implemented, using option 2 from above (only three new lines of code added), but leaving the issue open for now in case more changes will be made.

I think the implemented solution works just fine. I'm closing this.
