Text Formatting ⇒ Changing section format
Changing section format
Hi
Lets see if someone is able to help me. I am trying to write some appendices to a document, and I don't want to use the "Appendix" package. The reason is that I haven't been able to find a good way to control de options, remove the blank pages in between the other text and the appendices, etc.
So my idea was to change the section header just before writing the appendices, which should be just fine. What I have used is the following:
\renewcommand{\thesection}{Appendix \Alph{section}}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{A.\arabic{equation}}
\setcounter{equation}{0}
It does what I want, i.e. "Appendix A BLABLABLA" and sets equations numbers as I want. However, I get a couple of errors when I compile with "Latex Editor (LED)" and I don't know why. Plus the document is properly generated... I do it at the end of the document, so that might be a problem...
Any help?
Thanks
Jose

For starters, please read Board Rules and follow its guidelines.
Re: Changing section format
I am sorry if I posted it wrong. What should I change? I will try to have a look at the guidelines asap.
Meanwhile, if anybody has any suggestion, it would be great!

1. We have no idea which document class you're using
2. We have no idea which customizations have you made, and where
3. We have no idea what kind of errors you encountered
4. Since there's no example code we're unable to do any tests...
So, if you want someone to answer your question, simply follow Board Rules and always provide a Minimal Working Example (MWE) (even for the most simple cases) which shows the problem clearly.

Sorry it took me so long to answer. I have been quite busy doing the doc content itself. Thanks for the answers so far.
I have a working example now, and I still get the error and warning when I compile it. It says that I use the same section id twice, section 1.1, which is true. But I don't know how to have full control over the Appendix section doing it differently. In my document, there's an error, but the pdf is generated, and the output is what I am looking for.
Here's the code
Thanks

This issue is related to hyperref package, but I don't think it will cause some serious problems, at least not in printed material (maybe bookmarks/links in pdf output will not be all correct though). So, it's rather a warning than an error. You may copy the exact error and search for it to obtain more infos (e.g., you may start here).
Re: Changing section format
Thanks a lot. I will try to solve it that way!
