Text Formatting

I am using the report class for my dissertation with two appendicies and hyperref for clickable pdf links, each included appendix file looks like this...(where A replaces B in the first appendix)

The problem is that when I use \ref{appA} it points to Appendix B instead, probably because of my renewcommands above. How should I do this so I get correct hyperlinks, AND proper subsection numbering.

Thanks.

I wonder why to take this detour to get your appendices. A simple switch will do much better.

Code: Select all

\appendix
\chapter{Title of the Appendix}\label{chp:appA}

This will also lead to correct references and accordingly numbered sections and equations. Perhaps the appendix package is useful for you.

(Note that I am using \chapter* because I don't wish to see ``Chapter'' in the appendix title, and this must be breaking the following \label command?

Also, with these commands, \ref pointing to section A.1 actually likes to B.1. I am still forced to redefine the counters in appendix B so that my first section does not start with B.2 (I want B.1).

With the \appendix switch the chapter name is changed to "Appendix". You could have found that out by trying the suggested lines.

Another possible solutions for standard classes is to modify the appearance of chapter by means of the titlesec package. Consider the following example.

This way you can use structuring commands as usual and don't have to modify several counters.

It goes with out saying that you can't mix the the two packages. Otherwise this will cause a clash.

Ok, that's all cool, but the last problem I am having is that those header/footer commands do not affect the first page of the toc, lof, lot, and chapters. For these pages the page numbers remain at bottom center, and I wish them to ALL be in top right...

Post by **localghost** » Fri Jun 12, 2009 8:53 pm

At first you should take note of the fact that chapter pages and similar ones intentionally differ in their page style. As already mentioned a close look at Section 5 (Page styles, p. 13ff) would have shown you that there is only a simple modification for the plain page style needed.

Add these lines to your preamble and you get the desired result. Problems related to packages (and classes) are often solved by studying their manuals. That's what these manuals are made for.

I'm not bothered by questions. I like solving problems (as far as I'm able to). But relatively small issues are better solved by taking a look at the according manual. Packages authors like the thought that somebody reads their manuals for correct handling of their work.
