Page Layout ⇒ Contents without appendix

[bleagos]

Hi,
I was just wondering how you could make the table of contents not show appendices?

Thanks

Do you have a MWE? What class are you using?

I am using article but am not sure what an MWE is?

Sorry about that. An MWE is "Minimum Working Example" and the forum rules specify that you should post one when asking a question. I'd suggest reading those right away. It helps others to be able to quickly help you, rather than spend a lot of time trying to come up with something they can test their ideas on.

Welcome to the forum!

Ah ok... So something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{Section 1}
.....
\appendix
\section{Appendix A}
\end{document}

I want it so that my table of contents only shows the sections rather than the appendices aswell.
Thanks

There are a couple of ways you could do it, one would be to use the

Code: Select all

\section*{First Appendix}

command. This would prevent it from showing up in the ToC but it would also eliminate automatic numbering.

If you need the automatic numbering, I'd suggest just changing it with something like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

%command to remove appendix from ToC
\renewcommand{\appendix}{%
 \setcounter{section}{0}
  \renewcommand{\section}[1]{%
  \addtocounter{section}{1}\vspace{1em}\par\noindent\bfseries\Large Appendix \Alph{section}: ##1%
  \vspace{1em}\par\noindent\normalfont\normalsize}%
}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{First Section}
This is some text.
\section{Second Section}
This is some more text.

\appendix
\section{First Appendix}
This is some text.
\section{Second Appendix}
This is some more text
\end{document}

I basically just redefined the section command after "\appendix" is called.
