General ⇒ How to end the formatting from previous page...

[kostoglotov]

Hi,
I needed to add an appendix at the end of my thesis. I created it in a format I wanted but when I place it after "references" it carries on the same formatting as in "references", i.e. it add a line on the top with "references" written on it. The rest of the page (i.e. formatting of the title "appendix" and spacing is OK). Clearly I have to alter somehow the formatting form the previous page. Do not know how though...

Here is how it looks like in main .tex file:

% this is formatting of that previous pages - references:

\begin{multicols}{2} % \begin{multicols}{ # columns}[ header text][ space]
\begin{tiny} % tiny(5) < scriptsize(7) < footnotesize(8) < small (9)

\bibliographystyle{Latex/Classes/PhDbiblio-url2} % Title is link if provided
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References} % changes the header; default: Bibliography

\bibliography{9_backmatter/references} % adjust this to fit your BibTex file

\end{tiny}
\end{multicols}

% And this an appendix I need to add...

\include{9/Appendix}

\end{document}




Thank you,
a.k.

Hi,

what do you mean with formatting? The page header?
You could use \markboth to change it.

Hi,
yes I mean that there is still a header from the previous page, i.e. "references" - I want to get rid of it...
Where shall I put \markboth command then?
Cheers.

[kostoglotov]

Well,
I have used that and yes, I got rid of it. But still, it is considered as a continuation of that previous thing since it is not mentioned in "Contents"...

And additional question: would you know how can i get rid of that line in a header?

Thank you a lot!

[Stefan Kottwitz]

To get it mentioned in the table of contents you should use \chapter or \section. Without those commands you could use \addcontentsline or \addtocontents.

And by

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

you can remove the header line.

Cheers,
I think there is my problem - I should define it as a separate section but do not know how.
When I use \addtocontents command it adds it but as a subsection of previous section, i.e.
1 References
1.1 Appendix

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could just write

Code: Select all

\appendix
\chapter{Title of Appendix}
...

I think it would be good to choose an appropriate title for the appendix, like "Tables" or "Sourcecodes" depending on the content of the appendix, not just "Appendix".

That's brilliant mate!
Thank you a lot.
One more think though:
It creates "Appendix A", "Published papers"
Since I have just one appendix, i would prefer to have "Appendix" instead. Where can I modify this Appendix?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could change the secnumdepth counter:

Code: Select all

\appendix
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1}
\chapter{Appendix: Published papers}

A quick fix:

Code: Select all

\appendix
\renewcommand\thechapter{ }
\chapter{Title of Appendix}
