General ⇒ appendix in a report --- section numbers

[marcoslatex]

Hello,

I am using the report class to produce a document divided into chapters, and after some chapters I have an appendix. I am using the command appendix to generate them.

The problem is that I get the appendix only numbered as "A". Name of the apppendix, but I would also like to have the chapter on it: say, "3.A", "3.B", etc. (in both the apendix page itself and table of contents which uses hyperref)

The code is:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\appendix{\par

\footnotesize
\numberwithin{equation}{section}

 \def\section@prefix{\footnotesize\appendixname\ }%
\def\section@numbersep{:}%
\setcounter{section}{0}%
\gdef\thesection{\@Alph\c@section}
\renewcommand*{\theHsection}{\Alph{section}}

}

I tried the code:

Code: Select all

\gdef{\thechapter\thesection{\@Alph\c@section}}

but I get 4.1, 4.2 for the appendix and I want 4.A, 4.B, etc...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much!

Does the following work?

Code: Select all

\let\stdsection\thesection
\renewcommand{\appendix}{%
  \renewcommand{\thesection}{\thechapter.\Alph{section}}%
  \setcounter{section}{0}
}
\let\oldchapter\chapter
\renewcommand{\chapter}{\let\thesection\stdsection\oldchapter}

By the way, it's uncommon for reports to have appendices at the end of each chapter (which is why \appendix is defined to simply redefine the labels on the chapters).
