Page Layout ⇒ hidding appendix title in the document only

[ezor]

Hi everyone,

I would like to put a title for all the appendices in the TOC namely something like

A : first title
B : second

but I don't want this title in my document (since it takes to much space and the appendices are supposed to contain large figures)
In my document, I just need to have

appendix A
some pictures
appendix B
some others

I've already read a lot of topics that deal with that, using
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{TITLE} and \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}} but it doesn't work.

For the moment, my code looks like

\appendix
\chapter{}
...
\chapter{}
...
Consequently, I have "Appendix A ...Appendix B" in the document (which is perfect) but only "A" and "B" in the TOC (because I have not defined any title)

Thanks in advance (and sorry for my poor english)

Hi Ezor,

welcome to the forum!

What document class are you using? Perhaps post your document preamble here. This makes settings clear (KOMA-Script classes are a bit different to base classes) and we may have further tips regarding settings or packages.

I'm writing a thesis with the report class.

I copy-paste you some of the packages I use as well as the preamble

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, titlepage, 12pt, oneside]{report}

\usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm]{geometry}    
\usepackage{verbatim}         
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}   
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}      
\usepackage{gensymb}          
\usepackage[english]{babel}   
\usepackage{graphicx}         
\usepackage{rotating}         
\usepackage{indentfirst}    

\newcommand{\up}[1]{\textsuperscript{#1}}   
\newcommand{\dw}[1]{\textsubscript{#1}}

\begin{document}
...
\input{abstract}
\input{acknowledgements}
  \tableofcontents
  \listoffigures
...

\input{Part1}
\input{Part2}
...
\clearpage
\appendix
\input{appendix1}
\input{appendix2}

\end{document}

each appendix looks like

Code: Select all

\newpage
\newgeometry{top=-1cm,bottom=1.6cm}
\chapter{}
\label{label}
...
 \restoregeometry

Hoping it helps you!

I guess you could want something like the following, but i am not sure as the example you posted is very unclear.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, titlepage, 12pt, oneside]{report}

\usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm]{geometry}    
\usepackage{verbatim}        
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}      
\usepackage{gensymb}          
\usepackage[english]{babel}  
\usepackage{graphicx}        
\usepackage{rotating}        
\usepackage{indentfirst}    

\newcommand{\up}[1]{\textsuperscript{#1}}  
\newcommand{\dw}[1]{\textsubscript{#1}}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
see appendix~\ref{wombat} and~\ref{capybara}
\appendix
\refstepcounter{chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{\thechapter}Wombat}
\label{wombat}

\refstepcounter{chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{\thechapter}Capybara}
\label{capybara}
\end{document}
