Text Formatting ⇒ appendix | Appendix with Prefix in ToC

[wes4829]

Hello,

I have been working for a long time on this and cannot figure it out so I thought I would try posting on here.

Right now I have my appendix style as this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{appendix}
\newboolean{@@inappendix}
\newcommand{\@@appendixname}{Appendices}
\renewcommand{\appendix}{\par
  \setboolean{@@inappendix}{true}
  \setcounter{chapter}{0}%
  \setcounter{section}{0}%
%  \coversheet{\uppercase\expandafter{\@@appendixname}}  % REMOVE COVERSHEET
  \renewcommand{\@chapapp}{\appendixname}%
  \renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Alph{chapter}}
}

In the main body of the thesis I call the appendix like this:

Code: Select all

\appendix
\include{appendix1}

Then, in appendix1.tex I have the chapter name:

Code: Select all

\chapter{Flooding Test Graphs}

When I run the files, the output in the Table of Contents is:

A Flooding Test Graphs

I want it to say:

APPENDIX A: Flooding Test Graphs

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Which document class are you using? If it's an article, they don't typically have chapters so you're getting a "Section 1" or "Section A" (section is implied, not explicit, of course) instead of "Appendix A" or "Chapter 1". Switching to the book or report classes might do what you want.

There is also an "appendix" package that makes it relatively easy to redefine appendix-related constructs.
