Page Layout ⇒ Formatting Table of Contents

[Lianne]

Hi,

I have a formatting problem with my table of contents. Appendices appear as: "A This is the First Appendix". However, I would like to have: "Appendix A This is the First Appendix". Since I use special formatting (fncychap) for chapters and chapter*s, I do not want to use \chapter* and add a separate toc line. Thanks in advance! Lianne.

I added below my preamable, in case that's necessary info:

Code: Select all

%%preamable

Try the appendix package with the following options...

In the preamble

\usepackage[toc,page,titletoc]{appendix}


I hope this helps...

Then in the document

\begin{appendices}
\begin{appendix}
\chapter{This is my first appendix}


\end{appendix}
\end{appendices}

[localghost]

The appendix is introduced with the \appendix command (switch), not with an environment.


Best regards

I am not sure, but it works also so...

[corderin]

Ok, Liane...

With the appendices package

It is enough with:

\begin{appendices}
\chapter{First}

\chapter{Second}
\end{appendices}

each chapter will be an independent appendix.... , it is easier so...

[corderin]

My last reply....in the case you want to use \autoref{app:...} (with a \label{app:...})to reference an appendix and get Appendix A automatically for example, you nedd the \appendix command after the \begin{appendices}...in other case you will get only A and not Appendix A when using \autoref.

Dear Corderin,

Thanks a lot for all your effort. Unfortunately this does not solve my problem. I am indeed using:

\appendix
\include{my_appendix}

Where "my_appendix" is a chapter. I tried your suggestions putting it in an appendices environment, but I still get in my Table of Contents:

"A This is the First Appendix". Instead of "Appendix A This is the First Appendix".

I have the feeling I need to adapt a command (renewcommand) when creating the appendices half way the document (something like: \chaptername). But I cannot find out how to chance this half way the document (instead of in the preamable).

[corderin]

You need the appendix package with the following options
\usepackage[toc,page,titletoc]{appendix}

then
\renewcommand{\appendixname}{Appendix}
\renewcommand{\appendixtocname}{List of appendices}

Read the appendix package documentation.

Dear Corderin,

Thanks a lot, you solved my problem! I now use the appendices environment, with "titletoc" as a package option. It nicely produces the "Appendix A" in the ToC.
