          There are number of commands which you can use to read the file in terminal without using a text editor. My favorites are "less" & "more". You can also use cat as suggested by Scorch.



          Uses: 



          more <file_name>
          
less <file_name>
          
cat <file_name>


          You can also check man pages for more details.

            I use the command cat for this.. Ok so here are the contents of hello.txt:



            Hello World



            Now you open terminal and cd into the directory in which hello.txt is located and type cat hello.txt and the output will (or should) be: Hello World.

                              Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

                              Image
                              up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
