General ⇒ Appendices

[bolle]

Hi, I seem not to be able to add nice appendices.

I use the appendix package

and start my appendices with

\begin{appendices}

...

\end...

I divide everything in sections and add also some subsections within a subappendices frame. However after compiling I get the following result:

.1 Section 1

.2 Section 2

.3 Section 3

..1 Subsection 1

..2 Subsection 2

There is obviously something wrong with the enumeration, because I expect a list of letters ofcourse. Does anybode know what I am doing wrong?

It would be better to have a complete minimal working example (MWE) here to get a clue for the exact cause of the problem.

Hi Bolle,

welcome to the board!
Without some code, like Thorsten said, a reader could only guess what you are doing. For example which class you are using is unknown to us. But I will try nevertheless also because you are new here in this forum.

You did not mention if you are using chapters. If you're using chapters in your main document, you should use it in the appendix as well. Otherwise you would get this behavior, the letters for the chapters would be missing. Just try

Code: Select all

\chapter{Some title}

after \begin{appendices} and you will get your sections numbered A.1, A.2, ... I assume.

If you don't need chapters, don't use chapter based class like book or report, use for instance article instead.

Even if this helps, next time it would be better if you post a minimal working example instead of a vague description.

\end{document}

This is short how my appendices should have to be structured.

Ok, thanks! Now I start understanding it. I used only sections and subsections, because I read it like that in the introduction in Latex for beginners. Now, I have good appendices, thanks!

hi.
I am new to latex and have a very similiar problem. I hope that the experinced users will be able to guide me!

I am using WinEdt, Miktex and JabRef on Vista.

I am using a template (http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/tex ... PSnPDF.zip) which is book style I belive.

I have multiple chapters and multiple appendicies.

in thesis.tex I have the following:
\appendix
\include{Appendix1/appendix1)
\include{Appendix2/appendix2)
and so on

in the classes\.*cls file i have the following:
\usepackage[toc, page] {appendix}

in appendix1.tex i have

\begin{appendicies}
\begin{subappendicies}
\chapter{AppA : data review}
\section{intro}
\section{blah}
\section{conclusions}
\end{subappendicies}
\end{appendicies}

and this is repeated in appendix 2 and 3 and so on....

now in the index at the front of the thesis the presentation is like:
Appendix A: data Review
.A intro
.B blah
.C conclusions

and this is repated for AppB and AppC and so on (each starting from ".A").

Clearly this should be A.1, A.2,A.3.... etc

can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Have spent so long (!!!!) trying to fix this now.

many thanks in advance!
