General ⇒ Problem with mcode.sty

[nanocyte]

Hi there,
I'm using texmaker (on OS X Mavericks). This is my first report I'm writing with LaTeX so I'm not that quite familiar with LaTeX.

I get a strange behaviour but do not have any clue how to move on...

This is a minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,english,a4paper,oneside]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{babel}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{
\vspace*{4 pt}
{{\setlength{\parindent}{0 pt}
\raggedright \LARGE \chaptername~\thechapter

}
{\setlength{\parindent}{0 pt}
\raggedright \huge \bfseries #1

}}
\vspace{30 mm}
}
\makeatother 

\usepackage[numbered]{mcode} 

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test}
Here is a reference to appendix: \ref{appendix:data}. Hello World!

\begin{appendix}

\chapter{Data}
\label{appendix:data}
Test

\end{appendix}

\end{document}

Though... I want a custom chapter heading style. As you can see, I'm using mcode.sty which I downloaded from this source: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/ ... ex-package and put it into the same directory as my example file.

If I delete the line \usepackage{mcode} everything is good except for my custom header style. But with this line, there are two things bothering me:
- see attached screenshot: there's a little "chapter" before my "Chapter 1"
- the reference to the appendix is not printed, there should a "(...) appendix: A. Hello world!"

I tried to extract code from mcode.sty into my example (what I think LaTeX is processing within). But than everything is good, no little "chapter", no missing reference.

Can anyone assist? That would be awesome!

Hi and welcome to the LaTeX community!

I don't know the mcode package but it seems unrelated to the chapter headings...

In any way KOMA-Script's headings are best modified using KOMA-Script's interfaces:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,english,a4paper,oneside,chapterprefix=true]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{babel}

\setkomafont{chapterprefix}{\normalfont\LARGE}
\setkomafont{chapter}{\normalfont\raggedright\huge\bfseries}
\renewcommand*\chapterheadendvskip{\vspace{30mm}}
\renewcommand*\chapterformat{%
  \mbox{\chapappifchapterprefix{\nobreakspace}\thechapter\enskip}%
}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test}
Here is a reference to appendix: \ref{appendix:data}. Hello World!

\appendix

\chapter{Data}\label{appendix:data}

Test

\end{document}

Thanks for the reply.

It seems like my problem is somehow related to OS X (or my installation of TeX, I'm using TeX Live Utility). I tried my example from above in Linux and Windows and no problem.

Point is, I want to add some XML and Matlab code to the appendix. So I wrote my own listing style for XML by merging what mcode.sty contains with this source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7419 ... onal-books .
Works for me (though I still don't like workaround). Maybe I have to try and reinstall TeX...

Heres my alpha version of XML listing style:

Code: Select all
