General ⇒ Seperate List of Appendices

[S_David]

Hi,

yes, that line causes the appendices to be included in the standard ToC. To solve this problem, please tell me which is the first sectional unit that you are sure that you won't use in your document; I mean, obviously you use \chapter and \section, but which one of the following is the first one you won't use: \subsection, \subsubsection, \paragraph, \subparagraph?

I think \paragraph, but to be more confident let us say \subparagraph.

[gmedina]

Edit: please read the next post first

The new code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany]{memoir}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\listappname{List of Appendices}
\newcommand\listofappendices{%
\chapter*{\listappname

   \MakeUppercase\listappname}{\MakeUppercase\listappname}}%

\newcounter{myapp}
\newcommand*{\l@myappendix}[2]{%
  \stepcounter{myapp}%

\section{Another regular test section}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% End of main chapters.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\titleformat{\subparagraph}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\appendixname\ \Alph{subparagraph}}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\subparagraph}
  {0pt}{20pt}{20pt}

\subparagraph{Case 1}

\addcontentsline{app}{myappendix}{Case 2}

\end{document}

Now the previous problem with the appendices appearing in the standard ToC should be solved.

[gmedina]

I apologise for the obvious double post.

The code I just posted will produce undesired results if the appendices include sections or subsections created with \section or \subsection (those will be listed in the standard ToC, which is not desirable).

To correct this situation I used dome of the features of the titletoc package; the standard ToC now won't be generated by \tableofcontents, but by \startcontents[toc]\printcontents[toc]{...}{...}{...}...\stopcontents[toc].

If the appendices won't include sections nor subsections, the code that I posted in my previous response will work; if the appendices include sections or subsections, here's the code to be used (the code contains some explanatory comments):

[S_David]

That is great. So, I don't have to use the standard Table of Contents? But in that case how can I add unreferenced lines to the ToC like using this line

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{DEDICATION}

and I want to include appendices in the ToC, without details. Like this:

Table of Contents
...
...
...

Appendices ....................................................... 50
References ....................................................... 60

Thank you gmedina, you really helped me. Your code with the code of writting chapters in words will almost complete the rquired. But I still don't know how to write the chapter title and chapter number in the same line.

My code doesn't use the standard \tableofcontents command, but you still can use something like

Code: Select all

\addcontentlene{toc}{chapter}{NAME}

to add entries to the ToC; if that command will be used after the \stopcontents[toc] command, you will have to use

Code: Select all

\resumecontents[toc]
\addcontentlene{toc}{chapter}{NAME}
\stopcontents[toc]

The example code below contains examples.

You are welcome. To format the chapter headings, you can use the titlesec package. The following code contains this feature and examples on how to introduce information manually into the ToC:

[S_David]

That is great. But I noticed that the subsections and subsubsections are not numbered. Why?

Thanks in advance

[gmedina]

By default, the memoir document class assigns numbers to sectional units up to level 1 (sections); this behaviour is controlled by the secnumdepth counter. If you want numbering up to subsubsections (level 3) then you have to add this line to your document (in all LaTeX classes):

Code: Select all

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}

or (in the memoir class)

Code: Select all

\setsecnumdepth{subsubsection}

The memoir documentation (pages 146 and 147) contains an explanation about secnumdepth and \setsecnumdepth

[S_David]

Thank you friend, you rescued me, because I have to deliver my thesis to my professor in 10 days, and I am not familiar with Latex till now. All things are now just fine except a little thing. I will try to solve it by myself to learn more about Latex.

Best regards

[s.david]

Execuse me, but now how can I refer to the created page "List of Appendecies" in the table of content? This page does not exist in the document to just use:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Appendecies}.

Thanks in advance

[s.david]

Ok, I figured it out, we must place the above command after \listofappendecies.
