Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Removing the "A" in front of "Appendix"

[Seanshine]

Dear readers,

I am trying to remove the "A" in front of "Appendix". What line of code should I put in the preamble in order to do so?

Furthermore, what is the best position within main.tex for the additional lines of code? This is what I've done thus far:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
11pt,english, onehalfspacing, nolistspacing, liststotoc, headsepline,oneside, 
chapterinoneline, leqno, 
%consistentlayout, change the layout of the declaration, abstract and acknowledgements pages to match the default layout
]{MastersDoctoralThesis}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\addbibresource{References.bib}
\usepackage[autostyle=true]{csquotes}

\AtBeginDocument{
\hypersetup{pdftitle=\ttitle} % Set the PDF's title to your title
\hypersetup{pdfauthor=\authorname} % Set the PDF's author to your name
\hypersetup{pdfkeywords=\keywordnames} % Set the PDF's keywords to your keywords
}

\renewcommand{\chaptermarkformat}{1 }

\chaptermarkformat{1 } is just wrong. So wrong. I told you how to get what you want.

Have you tried \addchap{Appendix}, the normal way to achieve an unnumbered chapter with this template.

Hi Johannes,

I've actually used

Code: Select all

\chaptermarkformat{}

which was suggested by you in one of the other posts.

This is what I used in the Appendix section of the main.tex:

Code: Select all

\appendix
    \include{Appendices/AppendixA}

Code: Select all

\addchap

did not work unfortunately.

\chaptermarkformat{}

Redefining that command is correct, but your redefinition suddenly has one number in it, which is wrong.

Code: Select all

\addchap works for me.
