General ⇒ I want "appendix" instaed of "appendices"!

[Florian]

Dear Latex friends,
I have three problems at the moment:

1) I use the appendix package and the \appendix environment at the end of my text. If I use the \appendixpage command, it writes "appendices". But it is just one appendix, so I would prefer if there would be written just "appendix". Is there anything I can do?

2) If I need to write the \in symbol and want it to be turned around, I need to write \ni. But now I need to write the negation of that symbol - unfortunately neither \notni nor \notowned works. I now use the \txfonts package because that package provides such a symbol. However, I do not like the style of the package so much and would prefer to have a negated \ni symbol in the usual amssymb style. Is there such a symbol available?

3) It seems to me as if the repositories from which the miktex package manager downloades does not have all packages. For example, I wanted to try the package "minionpro", which I did not find there. Do I make a mistake somehow or is that package really not available via miktex?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Florian

Hi Florian!

1. Redefine:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\appendixpagename{Appendix}
\renewcommand*\appendixtocname{Appendix}

See documentation.

2. Try \not\ni

3. Not everything is available as MiKTeX package. In that case you can get it from CTAN and install it manually.
