Page Layout ⇒ Again: appendix headers

[mina]

Hi all,

I am using the report class and wish to add an appendix to my document. The problem is that I want to see the following in my pdf.
In the table of contents:
Appendix A: First appendix
Appendix B: Second appendix
At the appendices themselves:
Appendix A
First appendix
[some text...]
etc.

Is there a straightforward way of doing this? I have been googling for a long time...
Right now, I use the appendix package but this does not do what I want.

Thanx,
Mina

	\titleformat{\chapter}[display]

	\titleformat{\section}
			{\normalfont\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{11pt}{\large}
	\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{15pt} %left, beforesep, aftersep, right
	\titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{3.5ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{2.3ex plus .2ex}

\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}

\input{Sections/project}

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\bibliography{Bibliography/report}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}

\begin{appendices}
  \chapter{First appendix}
[some text...]
  \chapter{Second appendix}
[some more text...]
\end{appendices}

\end{document}

I think the reason that the title option to the appendix package isn't working is that you've given control over the chapter titles to titlesec.

You could just reissue \titleformat{\chapter}{...} when you get to the Appendices to fine tune how they look, and changing \thechapter after the appendices start should take care of the period in the toc too.

What about this?

   \titleformat{\section}
         {\normalfont\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{11pt}{\large}
   \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{15pt} %left, beforesep, aftersep, right
   \titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{3.5ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{2.3ex plus .2ex}

\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Introduction}

A chapter intro.

\section{Project}

A section here.

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\bibliography{mybibfile}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}


\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
       {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{Appendix~\Alph{chapter}}{11pt}{\Large}

\begin{appendices}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Alph{chapter}.}

  \chapter{First appendix}

some text...

  \chapter{Second appendix}

some more text

\end{appendices}

\end{document}

For more fine grained control over the toc, look at titletoc or tocloft packages.

Wooooow this is a long time ago. Sorry! The answer provided by frabjous solved the problem. Here a mwe that shows exactly how I had things in mind: both in the TOC and at the appendix page itself the chapter is shown as 'Appendix X'.

Thank you!

*Edit*
I can't seem to edit my first post, no edit button, so I can't add the checkmark to mark it solved
